In GC “Roskosmos” will be vested with the authority to implement the state policy and normative the legal regulation of space activities, coordination of works on creation of rocket and space technology of military, dual, scientific and socio-economic purpose, including combat strategic missile technology. In addition, the Corporation will coordinate work on the development and use of global navigation satellite system GLONASS and work at the cosmodrome “Baikonur” and “East”.

It is planned that the GC “Roskosmos” headed by a former director of ACCD Igor Komarov, now the head of the reformed agency. As reported Komarov, translation by the agency to the state corporation should take no more than six months. A reformed in terms of powers of the Federal Space Agency will be similar to other State Corporation – Rosatom.

According to the bill represented the official representative of the President on the GC “Roscosmos”, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, the new structure will have to address ambitious space exploration and aggressive positioned in the international market of launch services. According to him, a decision put before the “new” Roscosmos problems is impossible without the introduction of digital technology and other innovations, as well as diagnosing problems deep accident missiles “Proton”.

Digital Innovations

Reform Russia’s space industry has reached a new milestone in the middle of January 2015: Federal Space Agency Roscosmos goes into history, it will replace the state-owned corporation of the same name. This step is designed to consolidate and make more effective the efforts of government and business to address the backlog of problems in the industry. The Government’s proposal for the establishment of the state corporation through the merger of “Roskosmos” to the ACCD supported by President Vladimir Putin.

He said that the Russian Federation is 40% of the market of launch services, but may lose the position, if not start lower the cost of production due to the latest technology.

According to him, today the efficiency of work in the Russian space industry is 9 times inferior to the United States. If the situation does not change soon with the Russian space launches of carrier rockets will be more expensive than their Western counterparts, he warned the deputy chairman of the government.

“In order to solve ambitious tasks created state corporation” Roscosmos “have to master digital additive manufacturing, robotic conventional technology, it will reduce the cost of production costs and improve productivity, “- Rogozin said on Tuesday at the State Duma.

Aggressive inning Market

Innovative technologies will help reduce the cost of removing the payload into orbit, Rogozin says. Now this figure varies between 10 to 30 thousand dollars per kilogram payload at the conclusion of her carrier rocket to a height of about 200 km.

But the price cut alone will not give Russia a firm foothold in the market of space services. According to the vice-premier, “without aggressive performances fail to expand and maintain the traditional markets of our products.”

“The development of outer space should be actively seeking new markets for high-tech products and services. It is necessary to innovate and initiate the creation of new markets, especially in the area of ​​remote sensing for the benefit of, including, and private users, as well as in agriculture and in the field of navigation, “- he said Deputy Prime Minister.

The Vice Premier said, that created the state corporation” Roscosmos “should” intensify work on reusable assets to achieve commercial and military parity in the near-Earth space in the next decade. ”

The National Station

Deputy Prime Minister said that today in Russia laid the foundation for the development of manned space perspective, creates new manned spacecraft. He acknowledged that the development of manned space flight – it’s expensive. “About a third of the budget of the PCF (the Federal Space Program) goes to the manned program.

According to him, the task of the state corporation is supposed to include the establishment of a private orbital Russian station, where it will be possible to assemble complex space systems, as well as repairs.

According to Rogozin, the second phase of the cosmodrome “East” (first launch will take place at the end of 2015) will be associated with the creation of the launch pad for a heavy launch vehicle “Angara” and the creation of a national space station.

“The task of creating such a station ISS will be put in place, and soon, this week, we will be his (President Vladimir Putin) to report plans for the development of manned space flight,” – said Deputy Prime Minister.

Understand with “Proton” – a matter of honor

Speech Rogozin of the Duma was preceded by a series of failures in the Russian space industry. Over the past three weeks there was once two large emergency in the Russian space industry: failure ended launches of carrier rockets “Soyuz-2.1a” a space truck “Progress M-27M” and “Proton-M” with the Mexican satellite MexSat-1.

Speaking to MPs, Rogozin announced that following an audit in one of the main rocket and space companies – Khrunichev Center – revealed the machinations of the 9 billion rubles, opened eight criminal cases of fraud and abuse of power.

“With this expansion in the company’s management is not surprising for such a high failure rate. Space chiefs have long stayed in their” space. “I hope that the power of the” legal gravity “will lead them to where they should be,” – said Rogozin.

The Vice Premier also said that finding “constructive disease” rocket “Proton” – a matter of honor for the new “Roscosmos”, because in the last five years, there were seven accidents Russian carrier rockets of this type were considered in Soviet times among the most reliable in the world.

“The current accident” Proton “is exactly the same emergencies with this missile in 2008 and 2014. One problem – the refusal of the third stage. This means that the emergency committee in the past and did not understand until the end … There is a certain structural disease in missiles, and that for us, and the Russian Space Agency – a matter of honor to find her, “- said Rogozin.
