On Twitter, there was a record confirming the date of sending the carrier rocket “Soyuz-2″ from Samara in the Amur Region in the construction cosmodrome Vostochny – September 6, that is, tomorrow. The recording was made Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, Russia.

As previously reported, “Soyuz-2″ was created in the Samara-missile design center “Progress” exclusively for the first launch from the Baikonur East. Aug. 24 management “progress” has announced the completion of testing the launch vehicle and preparing it for transport to Uglegorsk.

Meanwhile, at the Baikonur East continue construction work. Will Baikonur ready by the end of the year is still unknown, but it is known that the first booster should start with him in December of this year. It is possible that this start will still be carried out even when working close by at a safe distance, of course, construction equipment. The basis for this conclusion may be too short a time to complete the planned construction of the spaceport, and the lack of Korchagins among modern builders’ objects century. ” The latter, perhaps, always been decisive in such situations, at least in the Soviet Union. How to resolve this situation today, time will tell – in December 2015.
