This change raises questions about the agency's future, particularly amid escalating issues such as stalled projects, financial strain, and a lack of international partnerships following the Ukraine conflict. Speculation surrounding Borisov’s departure includes a failed missile test and personal tragedies. As Bakanov takes over, Roscosmos aims to launch new space initiatives despite significant challenges that have stunted its progress over the years.
