five years ago, April 28, 2016, at 05:01 Moscow time from the new Russian cosmodrome was the first launch. The “Soyuz-2.1a” carrier launcher started successfully, the “Volga” removal unit delivered the spacecraft “Lomonosov”, “Aist-2D” and Samsat-218 to the estimated orbits. This launch showed the readiness of the Russian cosmodrome to the staff work.
The first launch was provided by the specialists of the joint calculation of training and starting from Baikonur, the developer organizations and manufacturers of component parts of the spacecraft missile and ground technological equipment of the Roskosmos State Corporation. Over the next few years, a serious work was carried out on the East.
Currently, its calculation is fully formed here. Specialists of the Space Center “Eastern” (a branch of the center of exploitation of land-based space infrastructure, is part of the Roscosmos State Corporation) and the operational division of the Russian Space Systems Company (enters Roscosmos) independently fills overclocking blocks and spacecraft, ensure the assembly of carrier missiles , Perform a full cycle of work at a refill-neutralization station, starting and technical complexes, a complex of collecting and processing telemetry information.
In addition, they are part of joint payments and provide start-ups with Baikonur cosmodromes and the Guiangian Space Center in French Guiana, round the clock participate in the management of the orbital grouping of spacecraft of the Roskosmos State Corporation and in the Communications and Management of the Russian Segment of the International Space Station. The team is formed completely, develops and grows, as well as the cosmodrome itself.
Eastern space complex for Soyuz-2 launch vehicles works in normal mode. The ground-based space infrastructure of the most modern cosmodrome of Russia has already provided eight launches of Soyuz-2 launch vehicles, and several more are preparing at the same time. Now on the East, the construction of the second starting complex is the Space Rocket Complex “Angara”. The first launch of the Angara carrier missile is scheduled for the end of 2023.
