Roscosmos forces the construction of the starting table for the carrier rocket of the heavy class Angara A5M on the East cosmodrome
- Mar 21
On the East cosmodrome in the Amur region, they build a start-up table for the newest missiles "Angara A5M". To speed up the construction, Roscosmos expands the staff of workers. Which is the starting complex and what is its features, let's tell later.
For 14 years already in the Amur region, the Eastern cosmodrome is erected.
About 38 billion rubles were allocated for the construction of the starting table for the latest launch vehicles of Angara A5M. In 2016, about 38 billion rubles were allocated.
In May 2017, the Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia, Timur Ivanov, was reported that the construction of the starting table on the cosmodrome "East" will cost 58 billion rubles. Later, the amount increased to 128 billion rubles.
Roscosmos immediately warned that this amount does not include the development and installation of technological equipment on the starting complex.
To accelerate the construction of the starting table, Roscosmos is gaining a new personnel. Specialists of various professions are involved: engineers of refrigeration units, locksmiths, engineers of mobile service tower and others.
Workers are placed in a hostel, and from the nearest settlements workers get on official transport.
Construction plan to complete in 2023. In the same year, the airport on the cosmodrome "East" will begin to take airplanes.
Recall that "Angara" is a family of Russian launch vehicles of a new generation. It consists of a lung carrier ("Angara-1.1", "Angara-1.2") and heavy ("Angara-A5") classes. For fuel, these missiles use secure components.
The domestic IT project Sfera implements an ambitious idea for creating space for the development of users. Soon the release of the product. Find out about him more than reference. The project is open to investment. Thanks for the support!
A new starter complex is universal for starting missiles of the Angara family.
At the first stage of Angara-A5M, an upgraded RD-191m engine will be installed. This will allow the rocket to bring about 27.7 tons from the east to low near-earth orbit. The geostationary orbit using the oxygen-hydrogen acceleration block of the Angara will be able to withdraw 5.1 tons.
As part of the Angara Rocket Family, automatic spacecraft, manned ships, different modifications of acceleration blocks, including hydrogen fuel.
Thus, the universality of the starting complex to ensure the launchies of the Angara missiles is responsible for the latest requirements of the space industry.
