The territory of the Baikonur Cosmodrome is 6717 km². The Baikonur Cosmodrome and the city of the same name together form the Baikonur complex, leased by Russia from Kazakhstan until 2050.
The cosmodrome and the city of Baikonur (until 1995 - the city of Leninsk) together form the Baikonur complex, consisting of 15 launch complexes of nine types for launching launch vehicles, 4 launchers for testing intercontinental ballistic missiles, 11 assembly and test buildings (MIK) and other infrastructure.
It was built and used as the first and main cosmodrome of the USSR until the collapse of the USSR on December 26, 1991, after which the cosmodrome was transferred from the union property to the newly independent Republic of Kazakhstan.
