By 2030, it is planned to carry out at least 13-14 launches of the Russian promising medium multi-sized missile “Amur” annually, TASS reports, referring to the forecast submitted to the presentation of the executive director of Roscosmos on promising programs and science Alexander Bloishenko.
The materials discloses that the annual need for liquefied natural gas (LNG), a protruding component of the Amur fuel, providing the predicted frequency of starts, is estimated at 2.8 thousand tons.
“This may be the usual supply of the required LNG volume (about 2.8 thousand tons per year), and participation in the creation of land-based space infrastructure. It is possible a full-fledged partnership in the new business to provide launchers in the domestic and foreign markets”, – said Bloishenko.
In February, the general director of the Rocket Space Center (RCC) “Progress” (enters the “Roskosmos”) Dmitry Baranov said that he suspended the creation of the superheavy of the “Yenisei” missile and retains the development of the Middle Multi-Rocket “Amur-LNG”. According to him, the sketching design of the average carrier, which should work on the fuel pair of oxygen – methane, is completed by about 95 percent. “Now there is a certain work on errors, because the carrier rocket is absolutely new. I think somewhere in the third quarter of this year the sketch design will be completed,” said the head.
