Baikonur is fully equipped with facilities for launching both manned and unmanned space vehicles. It supports several generations of Russian spacecraft: Soyuz, Proton, Tsyklon, Dnepr and Zenit. During the temporary lapse of the United States' Space Shuttle program after the Columbia Disaster in 2003 it has played an essential role in the resupply and deployment of the International Space Station.
