In April, the head of the experimental design bureau of the Central Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering (TsNIIMASH), Boris Satovsky, said that a reusable first step created in Russia’s light rocket “Wing-SV” for landing can get skis.
Constructively “wing-bovy” resembles a reusable wing “Baikal” missile, work on which was carried out in the center of Khrunichev.
