This route sent from Severodvinsk, where the order of operation Center ground space infrastructure (TsENKI) is the manufacture of many of the key elements of ground support equipment for the second stage of the Vostochny space centre. In the waters of the shipyard “Zvezdochka” on Board the transport boat “Barents” loaded six large-size Assembly units compressor-vacuum installation. It is needed for leak test systems and compartments of space vehicles as part of the technical complex prelaunch processing.
As reported by the official representative of the shipyard Eugene Gladyshev, within the framework of the state contract on the “star” made the elements of the body and cover of this installation. Stainless steel construction have almost 9 meters in diameter, and their weight – more than 170 tons.
According to him, previously the company manufactured and shipped to the customer two longitudinal load frame launch pad weight of more than 84 tons each, the kit parts launch pad is more than 6 thousand units, metal gastrites and “root partition of farms retain and service the cable-filling tower of two levels.” And all this – for the construction of the second stage of the Vostochny space centre, which will be the launches of Russian carrier rockets “Angara”.
it Should be noted that such orders from the space industry at the repair shipyard in Severodvinsk perform for the first time. On request “RG” Yevgeny Gladyshev said: a few years ago for the same “Angara” was made and sent to the Plesetsk cosmodrome (he recall that in the Arkhangelsk region) launch table, umbilical tower maintenance platforms, transport and distribution units of middle and heavy classes, the stand Assembly head part with the upper stage. And everything is already in the works.
And on the East an important parcel from Severodvinsk are waiting tentatively in mid-September. The ship Barents with cargo on Board must pass through the Barents, Kara, East Siberian sea, the Bering Strait and beyond, across the sea of Okhotsk, to reach the port of Sovetskaya Gavan. There multiton design will overload the barge and along the rivers Amur and Zeya delivered to the installation site.
According to TsENKI and Roscosmos on the East have already arrived the first small-sized (up to 50 tons) part of the launch pad. Their transportation is performed by railway. The construction of the launch complex for the Angara rocket should be completed by the end of 2022. The first launch of the carrier rocket “Angara” with manned spacecraft “eagle” without a crew is scheduled for 2023. And in 2025 “Angara-A5” is supposed to launch the ship with the astronauts on Board.
