The Kremlin has abruptly replaced the head of the space agency Roscosmos. The government announced Thursday that it had relieved Yury Borisov as leader of Roscosmos, replacing him with Dmitry Bakanov, a former deputy transportation minister and head of the state-backed satellite communications firm Gonets. The move took many by surprise, given no indications that Kremlin leadership were seeking to fire Borisov. A Russian government spokesman called the move part of a "planned rotation" and that it has no complaints about Borisov, but added that Roscosmos needed "dynamic development."
