Conducting manned launches of Soyuz MS spacecraft on medium missiles “Union-Art” with Kuru will not require the improvement of media. The condition for the implementation of the start with the crew from the cosmodrome in the French Guiana called TASS CEO of Rocket and Space Center (RCC) “Progress” Dmitry Baranov.
“There will be refinement over ground equipment. By rocket, I think that there is no,” said the head, adding that the emergency salvation system (CAC) “can be taken and brought, he lies in the workshop, there simply nowhere to put it “.
Baranov noted that the crew will require the attraction of additional aviation, because in the case of incidents, the astronauts will be driven in the Atlantic Ocean.
The general director added that rockets are adapted to a certain mission, which takes into account the device of the launched apparatus. “This is not very excco. But this is a work that is every time,” said the head of “progress”.
In July, the general director of Roskosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, said that the European partner was discussed with the possibility of transformation of the launch complex of the Soyuz-Art missile on the Kuru under manned programs for the Luna studies and missions to the Chinese orbital station.
