Zheleznogorsk JSC “Information Satellite Systems” Academician MF Reshetnev “won the tender for the supply of two broadcasting satellites -.” Express 103 “and” Express 80 “, which will be built for the Federal State Unitary Enterprise” Russian Satellite Communications Company “(RSCC)
The competition results were announced on 30 April. As the “Izvestia” an informed source in the state corporation “Roscosmos”, the head of “Reshetnev” Nikolai Testoyedov have called the head of the RSCC Yuri Prokhorov and thanked them for their confidence. Prokhorov himself to comment on the results of the contest refused, noting that it was closed to the nature and its course, as well as results, can comment on the participants themselves. The contract for signature will be given to the winner of the tender within two weeks, said Prokhorov.
for two RSCC spacecraft is ready to pay 15.5 billion rubles, taking currency risk (the state company is ready itself to pay the target hardware, which in any case will be bought from foreign producers)
The competition two bids were submitted:. from the “IRS name Reshetnev” and RSC “Energia”, submitted a joint venture with Airbus – “Energy CAT”.
Close to the leadership of the RSCC, the source reported that the application of the “Reshetnev” wins at a price – the Russian manufacturer said the price of 1.2 billion rubles less than the “Energy CAT”
On. terms of the level of technical solutions and delivery terms in both cases we get a comparable solution based on advanced foreign technologies. If you won “Reshetnev” that the Russian satellite platform set a target equipment made Thales Alenia, and if they won the “Energy SAT”, the target hardware could be a competitor – Airbus Defence and Space (ADS)
Since then, much has changed – after the story of the refusal to transfer Russian helicopter carrier “Mistral” military-industrial commission decided not to procure dual-use equipment (broadcasting satellites belong to them, with their help link for the country’s leadership) abroad. This does not mean that the satellites will be entirely Russian, but national will be a platform on which will establish a foreign target hardware. And the devices themselves will be built in Russia – do not give us their entire manufacturer just can not, there is the risk of a ban on the import of a particular configuration (that recently happen regularly, affecting the life of launches of spacecraft).
Therefore, the tender for the “Express 103″ and “80 Express” RSCC only invited the Russians – RSC “Energy”, “ISS Reshetnev name” and the Joint-missile construction corporation. Despite the “kinship” between all three companies (they are part of the state corporation “Roscosmos”), according to a member of the competition committee, the tender was held in compliance with all provisions of the procedures, procedure of opening envelopes recorded on video.
According to previously published plans RSCC in respect of the satellite constellation, until the end of 2018 the company intends to launch four new apparatus into geostationary orbit – “Express AMU3″, “Express AMU7″, “Express 80″ and ” Express 103 “, parallel operation of the plan to bring five old vehicles. It is worth noting that the “80 Express” and “Express 103″ is scheduled to launch into orbit a pair, that is, one rocket provided “Roskosmos” from the budget of the Federal Space Program (FCP valid for 2016-2025 years). In fact, this “debt”, “Roskosmos” for the failure of the launch vehicle “Express -AM4R”, which was lost due to the abnormal operation of “Proton”. Other satellites into orbit during the period 2016-2025 PCF, RSCC is planning to run from extrabudgetary sources.
