The State Commission has appointed the first launch from the Vostochny cosmodrome in the Amur region on April 27, according to Roscosmos.
«State Committee, having considered the results of comprehensive tests of the launch complex of the cosmodrome Vostochny and training booster” Soyuz 2.1a “, decided on the appointment of the first launch on April 27, 2016 at 5.01 Moscow time,” – said the state corporation
Roscosmos specialists started prelaunch preparation of Vostochny cosmodrome systems. launch vehicle (LV) and spacecraft. “Removal of the rocket on the launch pad is scheduled for April 23,” – said in a press release
21-25 March 2016 held a “dry removal” of the launch vehicle (LV) (complex tests. launch facility Baikonur East). mobile service tower impact were carried out (MBO), assembly systems, testing schemes starting complex and pH, electrical testing systems, pH and block removal “Volga”. All systems worked nominally.
There were also carried out checks on the electromagnetic compatibility of the systems on board the launch vehicle and the launch complex systems, tests on the dregs of cable-filling of the mast and the upper cable-mast. Also produced by the test launch complex filling systems with simulated refueling tank rocket propellants.
Then the “Soyuz-2″ was removed from the launch pad and delivered in the assembly and test complex of the carrier rocket for launch preparation and assembly of the space rocket warhead with spacecraft “Lomonosov”, “Aist-2D” and “Contact-nano-satellite».
Launch vehicle “Soyuz-2.1a “should be put into orbit spacecraft” Aist-2D “and” Mikhail Lomonosov “, as well as nano-satellite SamSat-218.
Initially, the first launch from the Baikonur scheduled to be held in December 2015. In mid-October, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed to dispense with rush work and postpone the start of the next year
The primary task of the new complex -. Reduce the load on the Baikonur launch site, but does not replace it entirely by at least until the end of the lease period of the last -. 2050
On the Vostochny cosmodrome is expected, five spacecraft will be launched in the first phase of the lunar program. “All five spacecraft in the first phase of the lunar program -” Luna-Glob “two spacecraft” Luna-Resurs-1 lander “,” Luna-Resurs-2 orbiter, “” Luna-Grunt “- are scheduled for launch from the Baikonur East “, – reported earlier TASS
