The next space launch, retrieved from our Launch Library 2 API, is Soyuz 2.1a | Bion-M No. 2. It is scheduled to be launched by Russian Federal Space Agency (ROSCOSMOS) from 31/6, Baikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan at 2025-08-20 17:13:00 UTC. Until then, this pad will have been used for 423 out of 1556 launches from this location. The launch status is currently Go 🟩 . The mission type is Biology and the payload will be injected into a Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

Bion-M is the next generation of Russian biological research satellites. While retaining the Vostok/Zenit-derived reentry module of the earlier Bion, the propulsion module has been replace by a Yantar type module, which provides maneuvering capabilities and longer mission support. The mission duration has been increased to up to 6 months by using solar cells for energy generation. The weight of scientific equipment has been increased by 100 kilograms.
