At the joint meeting of the thematic and investment committees of the Roskosmos State Corporation on July 28, 2021, the proposals for Proton-PM (included in the integrated structure of NGO Energomash State Corporation Roscosmos) on the change and allocation of additional budget financing of the project “Reconstruction and technical re-equipment of the mechanical assembly and electroplating production of engine units of the RD-191 “.
In this way, it is planned to increase the technological and economic efficiency of the new complex for the mass production of promising engines of the Angara carrier engines. Pre-Proton-PM received the conclusion of the Sectoral Technology Institute of NGO Technomashe about the feasibility of making changes to the project. The activities supported by the state corporation provide for the use of new planning solutions and changing the configuration of engineering equipment. In particular, it is planned to purchase six turn-milling machining centers to eliminate bottlenecks in the turbochargeable assemblies of rocket engines.
Recall that this investment project is implemented by an enterprise in a country production site in new linds. In the building with a total area of 44 thousand square meters, the mechanical assembly workshop will be launched, the lines of electrochemical coatings and the final assembly. It is planned to start assembling a modified version of the RD-191 engine at the new facilities already in March 2022.
