The Americans managed to thwart the modernization of GLONASS – SoftSraze: actual and objectively

GLONASS
Actions amerikanstsov led to the disruption of the modernization of GLONASS. Roscosmos will have to shift the beginning of the production of satellite navigation system “GLONASS” next generation due to formal restrictions, to declare the official competition for the production of the first batch of spacecraft “Glonass-K”, space agencies need to succumb to a significant correction actions of the federal target program (FTP) “Maintenance, development and use of GLONASS in 2012-2020. ” In turn, the appearance of these restrictions due to anti-Russian sanctions: restrictions imposed by the United States, was forced to replace spacecraft powerful part of the electronic-component base. Write about it “Izvestiya».

This work Roscosmos specialists are not the first month, and until it is completed, the production of a new spacecraft generation GLONASS will not start.

The source of “Izvestia” in the space agency said that all the fault of sanctions by the United States that « forced to replace them powerful part of the electronic-component base ». According to him, the current version of the GLONASS federal target program considers the process of making “Glonass-K” for serial production. In fact, this development work, « which is much higher than estimates of mass production ». For the official order from the manufacturer of satellites “Glonass-K”, we must first correct the FTP, moving the section OCD about 60 billion rubles.

initially approved schedule updates GLONASS satellite constellation envisaged transition to a new generation of space vehicles for 2015 . A new generation of satellites will be considerably longer work in orbit and coordinates should define more precisely.

The reality diverged from the plans FTP quickly enough: After the incident in 2013, an accident that “Proton” collapsed right at the start of the table and buried three satellites “Glonnass-M”, Roskosmos began saving devices and run them according to plan and as needed. As a result, now on Earth nine new stores and ready for launch vehicles “Glonass-M”. They may need at any time, since seven of the main unit is now flying the main groups already expired guaranteed lifetime is 7 years. Then you will need updating groups of new generation.

The result was disappointing. Representatives of the Russian Space Agency are now avoiding to give forecasts for the announcement of the contest for the right to build a new generation of satellites for GLONASS.

« Federal Space Agency is working to GLONASS satellites have been put into production as quickly as possible “- he said the Russian Space Agency spokesman Igor Bourenkov.

This is not the first case when the Russian Space Agency complications arise with the approval of the Federal Target Program GLONASS ministries. A similar situation occurred in 2012, when the agreement with the Ministry of Economic Development and the Ministry of Finance continued for over a year. As a result of the previous FTP GLONASS was completed, and the new, starting from 2012, does not start, since February 2012, the Federal Space Agency continued the coordination of the draft program in the ministries.
