«-2.1a Union “Removal of rocket to the launch facility Baikonur East, April 23, 2016 year
launch of the first was scheduled for Wednesday morning rocket from the Baikonur East. However, the grand launch failed: Automatic rebound gave missile launch two minutes before the start
On Wednesday, at 5:01 Moscow time the launch of the first rocket was planned from the Baikonur East (at 11:01 on. Blagoveshchensk). The cosmodrome attended by President Vladimir Putin. However, automation has given a retreat missile launch two minutes before the start, said, “Roskosmos”, noting that the backup start date of April 28 is maintained.
Why is not rocket Fly?
«For two and a half minutes to lift the contact occurred automatically hang up sequence diagrams. After the “boost” the team there was an automatic start-stop due to malfunction of the automated control system “, – said the head of” Roskosmos “Igor Komarov
He later said that the reason for canceling the start. localized, work is underway to fix the problem. “It was possible to clearly enough to locate the problem areas, which could all happen, and now works on working out and use a spare set and determine the exact reason,” – said Komarov
.
“For it is not the work of a mobile tower or home system relations”, – said According to First Deputy « Roscosmos » Andrey Ivanov . Ivanov also eliminate the human factor and the infrastructure of the cosmodrome of the possible causes cancellation of the launch. Representatives of the Russian Federal Space Agency claim that it is likely to eliminate the problem in the near future and make a start tomorrow – the reserve day.
A spokesman for the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, said that earlier on Wednesday on East Vladimir Putin arrived spaceport. The Head of State “has decided to stay at the spaceport until such time as will be clarified the prospect of the launch of the next day,” said Peskov, adding that as long as it will hold meetings on the second and third stage of the launch site and the construction of the city Tsiolkovsky.
What is planned for launch into space?
Launcher «Soyuz-2.1a” had to withdraw three cosmic orbit apparatus – “Lomonosov”, “Aist-2D” and SamSat-218. All three satellites are Russian-made and can be started with scientific purposes, reported state-owned corporation. The device “Lomonosov” was assembled at JSC “Corporation” VNIIEM “on the MSU order to analyze the phenomena of light at the top of the atmosphere and basic research,” Aist-2D “and SamSat-218 – RCC experts” Progress “and Samara State Aerospace University. The purpose of the launch, “Stork-2A” – Earth remote sensing, SamSat-218 – development of small spacecraft control technology
The first rocket was supposed to fly from the East in December 2015, but the launch site did not have time. construct. Project documentation was delayed for two years, he told the first deputy head of RBC Spetsstroy Alexander Zagorulko, and when it was approved, the planned expenditure for the project turned out to be two times lower than the already incurred Spetsstroy. “At first we assumed to build another complex for the rocket -” Rus-M “. But then, from the creation of this missile refused. “We thought that the new rocket we do not need: we can fly and is on the old” – said the former head of Roscosmos Vladimir Popovkin. “Neither of which start with the missile [Baikonur] East in 2015, of course, can not be and speeches. The development of the new missile, until we got out of the paper in the iron, we stopped. ” As a result, the Russian Space Agency took over again to hold design that tightened deadlines recalls General Designer Igor Barmin cosmodrome, the project had to be changed on the fly.
construction of the first spaceport now completed, from which can be run “Soyuz-2″ launch vehicles of the middle class. In order to meet the construction schedule, Roscosmos has cut the number of objects of the first stage of the cosmodrome from 20 to 11. Construction work scheduled to finish until November 30, 2015, but in October, Putin allowed to move first run on April 2016.
how much cost the construction of spaceport?
On the creation of the “Soyuz-2″ space rocket complex spent 94.4 billion rubles to provide the infrastructure -.. 60.8 billion rubles on the work on “Angara” -. 6.1 billion rubles, counting RBC
After the premiere launch planned pause in ezhkspluatatsii spaceport.. Executive Director of the Russian Federal Space Agency Andrei Mazurin said that more launches in 2016-2017, most likely, will not, and starting in 2018, and over the next few years there will be a little bit. Building East should take place in three stages. As a result, an area should be around 700 square meters. km, that is, ten times less Baikonur. Total will be built more than 450 facilities, about 100 km of roads and as much iron, Roscosmos reported.
The second phase of construction of the cosmodrome is scheduled for 2016-2023 years. The representative of the Russian Federal Space Agency said that the preparation of the tender will not begin until September, at the same time will be determined by all the parameters of construction. At the end of the second stage (2016-2020) will be built starting and technical systems for rockets “Angara” and infrastructure for manned flights. The third stage is planned by 2030 – then from the Baikonur can be run boosters super-heavy class, including lunar missions
The Spetsstroy warn that. the main cost is yet to come. “The second phase will be much harder than the first, because of both missiles, and increasingly complex,” – said RBC’s Deputy Spetsstroy Alexander Mordovets. Construction of the second phase of the spaceport, according to Rogozin , will require about 250 billion rubles.
the Final estimate does not exist. There is only a plan registered in the Federal Space Program for 2016-2025 years. In her state is going to allocate 1.4 trillion rubles, and after 2022 -. Another 115 bln. (The program includes, in particular, the development of space centers) Officials in their estimates of the final cost of the expenditure:. In a December 2011 Director Spetsstroy Gregory Naginsky called the figure of 300 billion rubles., in December of the same space agency has submitted to the government estimates have 493 billion rubles. Head of Scientific and Technical Council of the Russian Space Agency Yuri Koptev in 2015 said they need 560 billion up to 2025.
Is East by replacing Baikonur Will?
East – is the first Russian civilian spaceport. Now the majority of Russian civilian launches from Baikonur happens, Russia leased until 2050. Every year, Russia pays for rent $ 115 million, RBC messages yl representative of Roskosmos. Plesetsk Cosmodrome in the Arkhangelsk region is used primarily for military purposes.
In the East there are advantages over Baikonur, he said in 2007, led at that time by Roskosmos, Anatoly Perminov. Among the advantages he called a great location: the first stage of the rocket would fall near the launch site in the taiga, the second – in the waters of the ocean. In 2010 in Perminov has promised that by 2020 at the East can be converted to 40-45% of the required start-ups, including needs meteorological observations , communications, television, navigation. “The share of problems to be solved with the use of the Baikonur Cosmodrome, will decrease from 65 to 11%”, – said Perminov
After the completion of the East Russia has no plans to abandon the use. Baikonur in Kazakhstan, at least until 2030. President of the Moscow space club Sergei Zhukov believes that the decision to stay at Baikonur strategically: many countries, like the US and China, several of spaceports for risk diversification
How much money is “buried” in the construction of the East. ?
The construction of the East was accompanied by scandals, resignations and criminal cases. The Roskosmos head changed hands twice. As a result, the agency headed by the former president of AvtoVAZ, Igor Komarov. In summer 2013 Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has dismissed the head of Gregory Spetsstroy Naginsky – general construction contractor. In “Dalspetsstroy” – subordinated Spetsstroy unitary enterprise, which is actually engaged in construction – was replaced in 2013, five leaders
In particular, in November 2015 Investigative Committee of Russia (TFR) reported the completion of the criminal investigation against. the former head of “Dalspetsstroya” Yuri Hrizmana and chief accountant of the enterprise Vladimir Ashikhmina. According to investigators, in 2011-2013 and Hrizman Ashihmin illegally spent 5.16 billion from 22.6 billion rubles. advance by 11 state contracts. The money went to payments on loans “Dalspetsstroya”, which, according to the TFR, has caused material damage to the state. Hrizman Ashihmin and arrested their business Far Eastern Military District Court is considering in camera.
No less loud was the story of the delayed payment of salaries to the builders of the cosmodrome. In December 2014 Rostrud first reported that one of the subcontractors – Pacific bridge-building company (TMK) – was payable to employees in 1100 almost 61 million rubles, but the debts have already extinguished.. In the four months before the company left Victor Grebnev – CEO and owner. Grebnev went to work in the administration of Primorye Territory, and in comments to “Kommersant” claim to sell 75% stake in TMK “Moscow structures.” The Arbitration Court of Primorsky Territory introduced at TMK surveillance procedure, and six months later the company declared bankruptcy.
TFR started at Grebneva criminal investigation, suspecting him of damaging the company for 400 million rubles. The company issued a press release in which it announced that Grebnev spending allocated for the construction money on yachts, the purchase of apartments and the construction of a three-storey mansion. However, Raman felt that the delay in the payment of wages must be held responsible new head, and opened a criminal case in which he was arrested Igor Nesterenko, who led after the TMK Grebneva. Litigation cases against Grebneva and Nesterenko continued. Grebnev resigned from the Maritime Administration. According to the labor collective debt as at 21 April 2016 amounted to RUB 129 million. Debt Fact confirmed prosecutors Primorye
In addition to the criminal cases filed by the set of claims in arbitration:. Spetsstroy and “Dalspetsstroy” trying to collect from unscrupulous contractors through the courts for more than 4 billion rubles. However, according to SPARC-based, the amount of claims to “Dalspetsstroy” much more: only two and a half months in 2016 the amount of claims has exceeded 6.8 billion rubles. In 2015, contractors have filed claims against the general contractor for the amount of 9.9 billion.
Can the government to recoup the costs for the construction of the East?
Russia plans and commercial launches from the East. The first is scheduled for 2018, said on April 12 the head of the state corporation Igor Komarov. According to “Kommersant Money”, it is, in particular, the largest contract in the history of launch services, concluded between the British company OneWeb and French Arianespace and involves launching satellites eponymous communication system using the 21 carrier rocket «Soyuz».
According to Komarov, Russian businessmen are also interested in space tourism company, and Roskosmos ready to technically support these initiatives, but the state-owned corporation “is not aimed” at self-development of the market.
According to the Director of Research and analytical center of the Joint rocket and space Corporation Dmitry Paison, the share of commercial orders for the provision of space services in Russia and the United States is almost the same – about $ 11.3 billion, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of cosmonautics, son of John Andrew sure that the authorities have no task to recoup the costs of the East, and. not name the figure at which the launch site could earn. When developing a project, the three objectives, the expert says: the development of the Far Eastern region, attracting investments and young professionals, and the development of international cooperation in the space industry. According to Jonah, launch private rockets from the East – a distant prospect. “Private rocket must be built first, it is necessary to look, whether there is a launch pad for its infrastructure. If a private rocket will appear in Russia, the spaceport can make money on it: about 10% of the start-up cost – this will be the income of the cosmodrome “, – he said.
