Vacuum pumps for the installation of a vacuum installation complex were delivered to the eastern cosmodrome in the Amur region. The first batch of ten pumps is unloaded on a unified technical complex.
This equipment will be used for technological evacuation. After the pumps fully fulfill their task, they are dismantled and sent to the manufacturer, where their condition will be analyzed. Delivery of the second batch of pumps is planned in the summer of the next, 2022.
Vacuum setting a length of 14 meters and a diameter of 9 meters is the unit necessary to check for the tightness of the compartments of the pilot transport ships of the new generation and other spacecraft. Inside the installation, conditions are simulated with a load on all structural elements similar to those that affect the devices and ships in the orbital flight.
