Cosmodrome Vostochny rehearsal launch – BBC News

at the cosmodrome East – the so-called “dry removal”, a dress rehearsal for the future launch of the carrier rocket, but without refueling. After this operation, the rocket returned to the assembly and testing building, where he continued to work on the assembly of the head part with the spacecraft “Lomonosov”, “Aist-2D” and “Contact-nano-satellite”. At the end of the test the State Commission will determine the final date of the first launch, which will be the main event of the anniversary of Gagarin year.

Exactly at 5 am local time, the first time in the history of the cosmodrome Vostochny launch vehicle “Soyuz-2″ delivered to the launch pad. Deputy Chief Designer of FSUE “TsENKI” KB “Motor” Alexander Kildishev explains: “We have to work out all of the system, check that we all fit, we have to see this then go back and start nominally work already to prepare the spacecraft and launch. in outer space “.

On the missile language it is called” dry removal “, and if simpler, the dress rehearsal before the main event – the start. This is – a five-day test phase, during which a rocket without fuel and payload is delivered to the site, raised vertically and try on service tower. Then in a few days -. Test all rocket systems and start measuring systems

“Dry export” need to try on, firstly, mechanical assemblies and systems, and the launch complex for testing. To then, when we next go already with these space vehicles to the combat operation, with filling and commissioning, we had fewer issues. Of course, in this and test the meaning of everything to be exactly the same or nearly the same as is in the present start-up “, – said Deputy RCC designer” progress “Dmitry Baranov

So far.” The Union ” driven to the start, in the next building operations and checkout building finalized payload -. satellite “Lomonosov” The device was brought by plane from Moscow This satellite -. work MSU students and professionals VNIIEM Now engineers are testing mechanisms solar disclosure

<.. p> control Anastasia Chichunova tells specialist: “we are now going full-time assembly process of the device. Also, go test, and we set the metallization. I am here in order to control the build quality left “

.” – Service Module, which was created based on the spacecraft “Canopus-B”, which is already four years flying in orbit, and showed himself to the best advantage side. On this side of the module is installed scientific equipment, which brings together eight scientific instruments, optical, infrared and X-ray bands. They should record the passage of high-energy particles that interact with the atmosphere and leave their mark “, – says the chief designer of the spacecraft,” Lomonosov “Rashit Salikhov

That’s right.” Lomonosov “in conjunction with another student machine” Aist- 2D “and a miniature” Contact nanosatellite “will be the” first sign “, bred into space from the East Although the projects the university, the problem in orbit – very serious:.” Lomonosov “will explore the physical processes in space, such as gamma-ray bursts,” Stork “- watch the Earth: it established a unique set of optical and radar system

first Deputy General Director – General designer of the Roman Catholic Church.” Progress “Ravil Akhmetov emphasizes:” CXP: All the equipment is brand new. The most important thing – a fundamentally new optoelectronic equipment. Such a lens is not in the world, not only in our country. This very good lens with priemopreobrazovaniya information system, which we are doing, and let us create this unique device, which is good, and to resolve, and the swath width at a time. This machine in the world is “.

One of the main features of the Vostochny cosmodrome that work with the spacecraft and assembly of carrier rocket are indoors., It is not necessary to gather a bunch of satellites with the upper stage and rocket .. all transported from one building to another, as the Baikonur assembly and testing facility of the Eastern connected special corridor – transborder gallery

it is completely ready to rocket will go out and the start for specialists is a big plus: people work. . in a comfortable environment, (and in the winter is here, and as low as minus 40 degrees), and the products themselves are not subjected to temperature changes, Deputy General designer RCC “Progress” Dmitry Baranov says: “in the MIK – plus 20, and on the street – minus 15. difference temperatures. Pressure in the tanks must be greater than on the street, because while cooling pressure should still be more than one “

From Mika before the start of the table -.. Five kilometers To avoid damaging the rocket, is a short distance drive through slowly – at a speed of walking man

The long-awaited moment: “Soyuz-2″ on the new Amur site now everything here – designers, engineers, rocket men and workers who created the first national cosmodrome of Russia “There are hundreds of kilometers of pipelines… hundreds of kilometers of cables, there is a unique instrument. And I am proud to say – it is all ours. And sometimes when you hear that the Russian – kirdyk, Russia can not build Russia strangled by sanctions … All this is not true! That rocket, so the start – our whole “, – proudly says CTO to create cosmodrome” East “Andrew Okhlopkov

Today, in the Amur region lay the foundation for the second phase of construction of the cosmodrome The plan is until 2021.. .. built and a launching pad for rockets “Angara” It “Angara” will send to the East in the space and a new manned spacecraft Director General of the state corporation “Roscosmos” Igor Komarov assured: “It is, of course, a historical event and a very important and necessary country milestone. And after five years, I think there will be again a different picture: will end with the construction of the next stage of the cosmodrome to the new facilities, the new launch pad and technical complex for the rocket “Angara”

The business of the Eastern card – a mobile tower. service, reminiscent of 15-storey house on wheels that moves on the launch complex. “The assembled missile of Mika, which is located five kilometers south of horizontally transported to the launch pad, set to start the system and vertikaliziruetsya. After this is done hitting the tower maintenance performed docked all communications to the rocket. The next day, a check of the rocket systems, all . complex as a whole exported missile examples put into the starting system “, – explains the technical director of the Research Institute at the launch complex IC them. VPBarmin Dmitry Sizov.

Launch vehicle “Soyuz-2″ took its place in a new venue, the historic launch all ready. We can say that the cosmodrome East started, but without the ceremonial ribbon cutting.

Acting. General Director of FSUE “TsENKI” Sooner Juraev said: “This is one of our spaceports It is more modern and has a great future I think it will be in great demand because it is very conveniently located very many directions launches energy efficiency….”

at the end of XX century the Amur region became known thanks to the construction of BAM, and today Amur region back in the spotlight – this creates a space harbor of the country
