On east, tests of dispersed block “Frigate”

In the technical complex of the Space Center “East” (a branch of the center of exploitation of land space infrastructure facilities, it is part of the state corporation “Roskosmos”) continues to prepare the overclocking block “Frigate” to start 36 ONEB spacecraft.

In accordance with a comprehensive preparation schedule, pneumatic and electrical testing began on August 12 and should be completed by September 6, 2021. After the final operations, the overclocking unit is transported to the refilling and neutralization station and, directly, the refueling itself.

Overclocking block “frigate” production of the scientific and production association named after S.A. Lavochkin (enters Roscosmos) is preparing to launch the 49th mission of ONEWEB spacecraft. Starting launch vehicle “Soyuz-2.1b” is scheduled for October from the eastern cosmodrome.

Overclocking block “Frigate” provides an effective implementation of all tasks to remove spacecraft on working orbits or flying from the land of the trajectory. The entire removal process is carried out autonomously, the control algorithm is able to overcome abnormal situations. The highest reliability and almost the ideal accuracy of excretion provide an accelerated block of indisputable competitive advantages in the global start-up market.
