"Russia's Strategy to Regain Dominance in Global Space Launch Market"
Russia's once-dominant position in the global launch market has been eroded by reliability issues with its Proton rocket and the limited capabilities of its next-generation Angara rocket, leading to a decline in launches compared to competitors like SpaceX and China. To regain its position, Russia's space corporation chief, Yuri Borisov, outlined a plan to develop a partially reusable replacement for the Soyuz rocket called Amur-CNG, as well as "ultralight" boosters with reusability. However, the timeline for these developments has been pushed back, and it remains uncertain if Russia can restore its dominance in the global launch services market by 2028-2029 as hoped.
