The press service of the country's main defense department reports that the Proton-M launch vehicle with a military spacecraft has been launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome. The overall leadership of the launch of the launch vehicle was reportedly carried out by the Commander of the Space Forces - Colonel-General Alexander Golovko, deputy head of the VKS. He arrived at Baikonur the day before.

From the information management and communication material of the Ministry of Defense of Russia (quote RIA News):

Today, cosmonauts Sergei Ryazansky and Fyodor Yurchikhin are scheduled to enter outer space from the board of the International Space Station. The astronauts will carry out the installation of scientific equipment, tests for microbial contamination of the external surface of the modules and the launch of mini-satellites. The program includes testing a new Orlan-MKS spacesuit equipped with an automatic character thermal control system. According to the plan, our cosmonauts will spend 6 hours in open space.

      We wish you good luck and more launches. One or two launches a year is no good, until recently there were 8-10 launches annually. Elon Musk turned out to be not such a star-thrower ... Although it was not without good government support there, but the fact is on the face.

        However, it captured 60% of the commercial launch market.

          Space is a strategic industry. "Himself" he could not have captured such techno-sector, even with private investment. If they let a person into the strategic. industry, then this is a person - from structures, simply entrepreneurially savvy and supplied with power with preferences, priorities, connections and all-round specialists. No need for unnecessary illusions.

          «He definitely goes where government finances aresays Dan Dolev, an analyst at Jefferies Equity Research. “This is a great strategy, but one day the government will stop financing you.”

          The estimated amount ($ 4,9 billion) includes grants, tax breaks, factory construction assistance, forgiven loans, and air pollution quotas that Tesla sells. They also include tax deductions and refunds to customers of solar panels and electric vehicles.

          SpaceX is not a public company, so its performance has not been disclosed. Musk and his investors enjoy the pleasant side of government subsidies, and taxpayers carry the whole burden.

          This is done like this:
          State of New York will spend $ 750 million. for the construction of a solar panel factory for SolarCity in Buffalo. California company San Mateo will take leasing them for $ 1 per year. And taxes on this production won't pay a whole decade - despite the fact that the amount of taxes could be $ 260 million.
          or as
          SpaceX received about $ 20 million in economic development grants from the State of Texas, on which it builds its own spaceport there, and won tenders for contracts from NASA and US Air Force for a total of $ 5,5 billion.

              This state investment is a typical example.
              You simply do not know what state investments are.

              1. Government investments are investments in building up, as well as reproduction of fixed assets of enterprises and organizations of the country. State investments are formed at the expense of budgets of various levels, from the federal budget to regional, local, etc., as well as at the expense of state extra-budgetary funds.
              ...
              2. Types and forms of public investment

              Investments of this kind can be provided in several forms or forms, namely:

              preferential investment loans
              tax breaks and benefits

              direct investment from the budget
              investments from state-owned companies and institutions of various forms and levels (ministries, extra-budgetary funds, etc.)


              The government also provides grants and tax deductions to cover the 30% of the cost of installing the panels. SolarCity reported on receiving direct grants worth $ 497,5 million. But this is not the full amount of support.

            The package of amendments to the Tax Code, providing for the phased abolition of property tax exemptions for natural monopolies ...
            Since 2013, monopolies will have to pay tax at the rate of 0,4%, and then every year it will increase by 0,3 pp. to standard 2,2% in 2019


            Railways did not pay property tax. More precisely, practically did not pay.
            11 billion rubles is, of course, palpable, from the operating profit of RZD 2015, it is almost 15 percent, and if you take the net profit of the company in 2016, then it is about 4 billion - 3,7 and 3,8 - rubles,

            The auditors only state that the property tax benefits in 2011 are cost regional budgets in 156,3 billion rubles. and 34 billion rubles., which the regions will receive from increasing the burden on monopolies in 2013, do not compensate for these losses. From the calculations of the Ministry of Finance submitted to the State Duma, it follows that in 2013 the regions will not receive enough taxes from the new movable property 24,8 billion rubles, while the monopolies will give them 35,6 billion, in 2019, the difference will increase to 173,6 billion against 387 billion.

            2. According to the RF Tax Code, tax rates are reduced by 50% if the company employs 50% or more people with disabilities and (or) 70% or more pensioners.

            According to the RF Tax Code, tax rates are reduced by 50% if the company employs 50% or more disabled people and (or) 70% or more senior citizens.

    Yes, just yesterday (16.08.) Dmitry Rogozin did not rule out attracting foreign contractors to Vostochny.


    Yes, I mean when they will have launches.

    At the end of the year. And what to start from the East now. All the same "Unions"

    We wish you good luck and more launches. One or two launches a year is no good, until recently there were 8-10 launches annually. Elon Musk turned out to be not such a star-thrower ... Although it was not without good government support there, but the fact is on the face.

    It doesn't matter whether with support or not, but he fulfills his promise. And how much about him here, they didn’t write to VO.
    And this year he plans (and will carry out) the number of launches comparable to the number of launches in Russia. And that's not counting the rest of the line of American carriers.

      And how many of them is he planning to fly this year? smile
      In the meantime, the United States is 15 ahead (11 of them are falcons). The Russian Federation has 11 so far (of which 2 are with Kuru).

    The program includes testing the new Orlan-ISS spacesuit equipped with an automatic temperature control system
    what is "Automatic Character"? I'm lost in conjecture - is it an artificial intelligence system or "Fuck automatic"

    In total, we plan 25 a year, and Musk only "Falcons" as much. Plus a dozen different others. Well, manned. We will count by the total number, or exclusively by the manned. To the whole world, how many Russians fired manned. Statistics show that we plan 25, and they are 35 .. And what will happen in 2018 - wait and see what statistics will be for three or four types of their manned ships, against our Union
