The head of the Khrunichev Center: exploration of the Moon will pass through dvuhpuskovoy scheme – TASS

MOSCOW, July 12th. / TASS /. Space Center. Khrunichev preparing for the lunar program of special rocket modification “Angara” and the project will take place on dvuhpuskovomu scenario. This was announced in an interview with “ News ” Head of the Center Andrew Kalinowski.

” Now, our main focus is to work on the project “Angara-A5P” – manned rocket variant, which will first start from the cosmodrome Vostochny in 2021 with the astronauts on board the “Angara-A5P” fly in 2023 after the completion of the project.. we immediately switch to the “Angara-A5V”, which should start in 2025, “- he said

.” Angara-A5V “created specifically for the lunar program. So far, according to Kalinowski, provided dvuhpuskovaya scheme, as a result of the start of each orbit will be displayed on the 35 tonnes of payload. “In this configuration, now worked out the possibility of using a launch pad,” – said the expert

“According to the approved schedule, development of design documentation should be completed by the end of 2018 When will the construction of the launch complex -.. This is the area responsibility of our colleagues from TsENKI (Center for exploitation of space infrastructure – approx Tass.) As I understand it, there are already being developed project documentation institutions “, -. he said

The expert noted that the Khrunichev Center put. to make “Angara-A5″ not expensive “Proton-M”, “because that’s what the media by the end of the 2020s to replace” Proton “.” And if the new missile will be more expensive, it would mean the loss of market positions. This we can not accept, so the program to reduce the cost of “Angara-A5″ – one of the highest priority for us “, – admitted Kalinowski.” Angara “, which we passed in 2014, was worth much more expensive, but it is natural for the first pilot products “, – he added

as previously reported by TASS in the head scientific institute of the state corporation.” Roskosmos “TsNIImash, promising the moon manned Russian program provides overflying and landing astronauts on the moon, as well as their delivery to the point system libration Earth – Moon (point of balance gravitational forces of the two celestial bodies – TASS approx.). Since 2025, Russia plans to hold an annual one-two launches manned spacecraft “Federation” to the Moon, which will begin testing in 2021 an unmanned launch from the Baikonur East. To start to be used launch vehicle “Angara-A5V” increased payload
