RSC "Progress" begins equipment deliveries to the Vostochny spaceport
According to the management of the RCC Progress, the equipment was prepared for shipment to the Amur Region about two months ago, but the launch pad was not yet properly rebuilt. Frankly speaking, it should still not be rebuilt, but for the initial stage of installation of the corresponding equipment there are still opportunities.
TASS quotes the words of the head of the Progress Rocket and Space Center Sergei Sokratov:
According to Sokratov, other enterprises should deliver their equipment to Vostochny. This is about a third of the volumes scheduled to be delivered from Progress RCC.
Meanwhile, during the construction of the cosmodrome, about 1,6 thousand violations of labor legislation were revealed. Economic violations were also revealed during the construction of the city of Tsiolkovsky, which will become a city located in the immediate vicinity of the cosmodrome. According to the Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, there are still no standards for the maximum possible cost per square meter of housing. This can lead to overstatements and other risks of corruption.
