The center of operation of objects of ground-based space infrastructure, which is part of the state corporation “Roskosmos”, completed the supply of high pressure cylinders of the storage system and the issuance of compressed gases for the Cosmodrome Space Rocket Complex. The supply of large-sized cylinders weighing over 4 tons and more than 6 meters long on the cosmodrome began in July 2020.
For 8 months, the specialists of the Space Center “Eastern” (a branch of Cenni, is made to the state corporation “Roskosmos”), about 1,780 cylinders were unloaded. They were placed on a specially prepared platform for storing technological equipment on the starting complex “Angara”. The first batch of cylinders for compressed gases was aimed at the retrofitting of the technical complex systems, which in the future will be inspected by the Angara-A5 carrier missile when assembling and testing.
The installation of cylinders in the power unit has already been completed, currently there is a binding of technological pipelines. The main volume of high-pressure cylinders will be involved in a centralized construction of the starting complex to provide work on preparing for the launch of the Space Rocket “Angara-A5” and its modifications. At the moment, the contracting organization is performed on the enlarged assembly of metal structures for the installation of high-pressure cylinders. After the completion of construction works and the transfer of the structure for the installation of technological equipment, the specialists of the contracting organization Cenni will begin to install the storage system and issuing compressed gases.
Ground technological equipment for the starting complex of the Cosni Space Rocket Complex enters the Cenni branch – Space Center “Eastern” since September 2018. For its storage, special storage locations are prepared on the territory of an industrial construction and operational base of more than 70,000 m², as well as on the starting complex.
