Spetsstroy reports: There are no problems with the construction of the Eastern Cosmodrome
Grigory Naginsky, Director of the Federal Agency for Special Construction, told a press conference on Friday in Izhevsk about the situation with the construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome. "I think that there are no problems with the spaceport. The only thing is that our construction capabilities are ahead of the capabilities of the designers. We could work faster if they would issue design documentation more quickly," he said.
According to Naginsky, this year Spetsstroy should provide infrastructure things related to railways and highways. “Everything is going well, everything is in the schedule,” he specified. In addition, this year they plan to put into operation the first phase of the Spetsstroy construction industry base and the building of the space center administration for Roscosmos. "
Work is already underway on the two main objects of the cosmodrome - on the launch and assembly and test facilities. "Today, at the launch complex, the foundation has been completely poured. Now, all sorts of foundations are pouring around it and in the near future drawings from the institute should come out, we will order metal constructions, we must make them this year and start assembling the starting complex itself," Naginsky said. At the assembly and test facility - the launch pad - the foundation has already been completed, the foundations of the adjacent objects are being made.
According to the director Spetsstroy, there are no difficulties with financing either. "Financing is very good there. If we argue from the point of view of us as builders, then it is very comfortable to work with the federal budget: sign a contract, get your own money from 30 to 80% of advance payment, work on time, with good quality and then there are no problems at all. It is interesting to work with the budget ", - he stressed.
The Baikonur complex is a city of the same name and a cosmodrome and is rented by Russia from Kazakhstan, according to a bilateral agreement, until 2050. The operation of the cosmodrome costs Russia about five billion rubles a year. Thus, Baikonur is considered an administrative-territorial unit of Kazakhstan, operating under a lease.
This year, construction began on the Vostochny cosmodrome in the Amur Region. In this regard, it is possible that after 2050, Russia itself will leave Baikonur. According to other data, the refusal of Russia from the lease of the cosmodrome can already occur much earlier - after nine years.
Currently, more than 70 thousand people live in the city, of which 37% are citizens of Russia, about 60% are citizens of Kazakhstan. In addition, about four thousand Russians sent to provide start-ups are almost always at Baikonur. More than 1 billion rubles is transferred annually from the federal budget of Russia to the budget of the city of Baikonur, writes NEWSru.com.
