Nov. 29 (UPI) -- Kazakhstan's Baikonur Cosmodrome was damaged during Thursday's launch that sent two Russian cosmonauts and one U.S. astronaut to the International Space Station.
Russia leases the launch facility, which is located in Kazakhstan, and a post-launch inspection by Roscosmos officials confirmed suffered damage to its launch pad, CNN reported.
"An assessment of the condition of the launch complex is currently underway," Roscosmos officials said in a statement, adding that the "damage will be repaired in the near future."
Roscosmos already has all of the equipment and parts needed at the facility to repair the launch damage.
Video footage of the launch site indicates a service bay located beneath the launch pad became dislodged when the Soyuz 2.1a rocket initiated its booster engines during liftoff, according to Business Insider.
