Ngokwemibiko yabezindaba yaseRussia, amabhizinisi ayingxenye yenhlangano kahulumeni i-Roscosmos alungiselela ukudubula i-pad yokuqalisa i-Baikonur Cosmodrome, lapho u-Yuri Gagarin asuka khona ukuze anqobe indawo yangaphandle. Lesi sinqumo senziwe ngenxa yokuntuleka kwezimali zokuvuselela indawo yokwethulwa kwamarokhethi eSoyuz-2.
Kulo nyaka, indawo yokuqala ye-Baikonur Cosmodrome izosetshenziswa kabili. Umkhumbi-mkhathi we-Soyuz MS-1 kanye ne-Soyuz MS-13 uzokwethulwa emkhathini. Lapho kwethulwa lezi zimoto, kuzosetshenziswa izimoto zokugcina zokwethulwa kwe-Soyuz-FG. Kusukela ngonyaka ozayo, ukwethulwa komkhumbi-mkhathi ophethwe umuntu kuzokwenziwa kusetshenziswa i-rocket ye-Soyuz-15 evela endaweni yama-2 ye-cosmodrome, eyashintshwa yaba yesimanje phambilini. Ngokuqondene nesizinda sokuqala, sizoyekiswa ukusebenza, ngoba singasetshenziswa kuphela ukwethula izimoto zokwethulwa kweSoyuz-FG.
Ngenxa yokumiswa kokusebenza kwesiza sokuqala, bonke abasebenzi abasebenza kulesi sikhungo kuzodingeka bathuthele endaweni yama-1. Bangu-31 abantu abayingxenye yethimba lokwethula abazosuswa ezindaweni zabo. Kuyaqapheleka ukuthi iyunithi isebenza ngamandla angaphelele, ngoba indawo eyodwa yokwethulwa kufanele inikezwe abantu abangama-300. Uma izingosi ezimbili zisetshenziswa ku-Operations Center No. 450 ye-Yuzhny Space Center, khona-ke abantu abangu-1 kufanele bahlanganyele ekuhlinzekeni inkimbinkimbi.
Ake sikukhumbuze ukuthi "ukwethulwa kweGagarin" yigama elinikezwe indawo ye-Baikonur cosmodrome, esetshenziswe ukwethula i-rocket ye-Vostok ngo-Ephreli 12, 1961, eyethula umkhumbi wegama elifanayo kanye ne-cosmonaut u-Yuri Gagarin emkhathini.
