S7 Group buys floating launch site "Sea Launch"

The owner of one of the Russian airlines C7 Group of Companies (S7 Group) has signed a contract with the Sea Launch consortium for the purchase of the property complex of the Sea Launch space center project, reports RIA News.

The agreement was signed "in the framework of the International Astronautical Congress IAC 2016, they say," said the release of the S7 Group.

The objects of the deal were "the ship Sea Launch Commander, the Odyssey platform with rocket equipment, the infrastructure in the American port of Long Beach, and the Sea Launch trademark."

As the head of S7 noted, Vladislav Filev, it is planned to remove the complex from conservation by the end of 2018. In 15 years, the company plans to perform about 70 missile launches without significant material investments in the modernization of the space center.

“Our approach to doing business is fundamentally different from many companies - we will not sell promises, we will sell launches only on ready-made launch vehicles. First, the rocket, and only then - the buyer ",

stated Filev.

Completely close the deal is planned in six months.

Recall that the Sea Launch International Consortium was created in 1995 for commercial launches from the equatorial Pacific Ocean. The headquarters of the Sea Launch AG is still in Switzerland.

You need to sink it imperceptibly so that spies are not thrown into orbit. Our path does not interrupt orders.

Here one can see a "chess" game and a lot of politics.

[The black]

But in my opinion everything is simpler. The Sea Launch project is currently unprofitable for Energia. The production of Zenit rocket launchers at the Yuzhmash plant (Dnepropetrovsk) has been frozen. "own carrier. So there is only business and no politics. S 7 - a new project with the prospect of making money, Energia - money for the creation of a new medium and almost guaranteed participation in the project as a developer and technical support ...

[Kasym]

Black, have you heard about the new Zenith? Now the question of the "lightweight" version of Zenith is being studied (most likely a composite body). Rogozin said that the RF missile; and the RC is a launch pad at Baikonur (somewhere in the beginning of the year, in late spring). There was also information that the "heavy" Angara might not take place.

At the end of July, 2010, by court order, Energia Overseas Limited (EOL), a subsidiary Energy Corporation, received 95% stake in Sea Launch Consortium, Boeing - 3% and Aker Solutions - 2% [4].

the Russian side will pay off the debt, estimated at 330 million dollars, by providing services and participating in joint projects and Sea Launch can be considered completely Russian.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT? Or rather whose?

Do we have another SC at the equator?
equatorial zone near Christmas Island in the Pacific Ocean.



And what about the Kvant launch vehicle?
Volga design bureau of the rocket and space corporation "ENERGIA"
1994-1995 The documentation was developed for the Quantum light-class launch vehicle, the second stage of the Angara launch vehicle, and design studies of the Yamal middle-class rocket were carried out.
After "vUkraina" in 2014 from Zenit-3SL we have only the upper stage in our hands.
or with an oxygen-hydrogen Neva light carrier rocket?

[Hlavaty]

Or maybe Dnepropetrovsk "by the end of 2018" will cease to be Ukrainian? ... And then it will be quite possible to order missiles from Yuzhmash.

Good news! Russia will get access to new technologies! Not everything needs to be created by ourselves, sometimes it’s better to buy, and what a sin to hide - to steal!

Missiles, as I understand it, will be Ukrainian Zenit-2.

All that remains is to create a Zenit-class missile for Sea Launch. It seems that there are already plans - the Russian-Kazakh "Falcon"

[silverwolf88]

As I understand it, the businessman is fulfilling the task of protecting the homeland and technology ... perhaps at the convincing request from above ... In the plus is the further use of the system ground for launching Russian-made products ...

[maxim947]

What does he work out? we buy it ourselves (over 90% belongs to Energy) there are essentially two questions - how much Energy bought all this and how much it sells and what are the prospects ???? They are not here

[lelikas]

So in Energy, 38% of the state’s shares, and C7 is completely private, that’s what they’ve got.

[rotmistr60]

Continued use of the system designed for start-up of Russian-made products is a plus ...

On the one hand, some technical solutions will be required for Russian production of products. But the buyer for some reason declares

The company plans to complete about 15 missile launches in 70 years without significant material investment in the modernization of the spaceport.

Since when do we have "grenades of the same system" (paraphrased from the movie "White Sun in the Desert")

[Banishing liberoids]

That is, exploitation "for wear and tear"! Buy bought, but what will come of them with this, we can only guess

[voyaka uh]

Israel, too, at one time was staring at this platform.
We have a terrible spaceport: on the beach in the middle of the country. And rockets
have to run against the rotation of the earth. So that in
in case of unsuccessful launch, the wreckage did not crash into the Arab
neighbors.

[gray smeet]

Since Israel did not buy, then there is an ambush somewhere! And our fools bought a wrapper ...
I feel the money down the drain, and even the infrastructure in the American port of Long Beach - ah ha ha !! They know how to capitalize on the capitalists ...

[Blackmokona]

Our bought from ours. More precisely, the state has privatized assets.

[gray smeet]

Well, yes, NPO Energia has sold a "legless stool" s7. The Russians will pay for all the losses, and Boeing will get rid of debts without spending a cent, in a word, rubbing its pens ...

For the sake of objectivity, I must say that Australia wanted to buy, but something went wrong ...

An ambush in a fired vehicle. It does not exist, but will the Jews make an analogue with the alteration of the table and the loading steamer ... they decided not to go to the campaign - it is more expensive than paying the "launchers" for putting the device into orbit.

And the fact that the infrastructure in the port of Long Beach is just places at the berths and crane equipment (plus storage facilities) is something beyond the limit ??? Existing only among Americans ??
Could, besides this note, read that

A project is being developed to transfer the home port and ground-based service infrastructure from Los Angeles to Sovgavan or Vladivostok

So calm your nerves (nerve cells do not recover, as they say) - money is not wasted ...

[gray smeet]

Well, yes, not down the drain ... The Russians paid for the debts, and the Americans allowed them to take the platform, after all hanging all the debts on NPO Energia ... Most importantly, Sea Launch was intended for commercial launches, mainly by order of American companies ... And then the Americans jump off and stick all the goodness of Energy ... As if everything happened by accident. You also need to screw the new media onto the platform, and then get clients to make money.

And what, we have a lot of money, and you can experiment

Some kind of very muddy news.
The fact that domestic private traders have decided to enter this market cannot but rejoice, but what will they do with Zenit? Yuzhmash is unlikely to start building them again, even if the politicians reach an agreement. It is not clear, you have to wait and watch.

[colonel manuch]

In principle, the good news is, but how will the DAM government use it?

[Ruswolf]

This is SBX 1 - a marine based radar autonomous installation
Isn't it SIMILAR
The difference is that it was created on the basis of a semi-submersible oil platform built at the Vyborg shipyard in 2002 for a Norwegian oil company.
In the 2002 year, it was bought by Boing and in the 2004 year it was modified at the Texas shipyards.
So why should we buy our technology?
This is reminiscent of Serdyukov’s purchases, with the consent of DAM the old equipment .......
This is the 2 series of Mistral!
Someone needed a government order no more.
If for 15 years the question of using semi-submersible platforms to launch a rake has not been raised, then this was not necessary.

The platform itself is only part of the complex. The main thing is that on the platform itself. And of course on the command and assembly ship. Well, we ourselves would have made such a platform, and then what? Would we need it if there were spaceports? Could live without her. But since there is an opportunity to fuck, then why not?

I did not mean the final results, but what was the basis.
a semi-submersible platform built at the Vyborg Shipyard in 2002
I think that if it were interesting, then the development of the launch pad would begin even then. And the question is not the lack of funding. At our place, many design bureaus are doing their best to present to the government, with the available justifications.
I apologize if I did not quite express my thought.
IMHO!
