Roscosmos reduces costs in the interest of the national economy – Kommersant

The head of the Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos), Igor Komarov, today presented a draft Federal Space Program (FCP) for 2016-2035 years. Costs have been reduced to $ 2 trillion to 4.5 billion rubles. despite the fact that the program is developed based on the 2014 project was to cost $ 2 trillion 850 billion rubles. The main priority of the French Communist Party, Mr. Komarov called the formation of the orbital constellation of spacecraft that will work in the interests of the national economy. The program allows the agency to prepare for a manned flight to the moon in 2029.

As reported by “Kommersant” on April 22, reducing the cost of the project comes to getting the PCF structure orbital constellations of communication satellites, remote sensing (RS) and the fundamental space research (FCI) to a minimum. It also assumes a shift of two years -Five years terms of readiness of the new generation of devices socio-economic and scientific purposes. In addition, the reduction will be launching ships “Progress” from four to three per year. However, to continue work on the draft of a new generation of manned spacecraft and extra missiles.

The head of the Russian Federal Space Agency, Igor Komarov, the main purpose of the PCF – “above all to maintain a rational space capabilities.” The project of the program, he said, laid the “foundations of the state policy in the field of space activities until 2030″. “The first priority is the formation and maintenance of orbital constellation of spacecraft that provide economic and national economic interests and goals, the second priority – this is basic research in the field of outer space, deep space, and the third priority – it’s human spaceflight”, – said Igor Komarov.

The head of the Russian Space Agency said that the PCF was formed in accordance with the needs of the socio-economic sphere and science “and with an eye to the future.” “We focused on concrete results to improve the lives of people – said on.- In difficult economic times, we have focused on the ability of the Russian economy.” He noted that the cost of the projects has seriously changed the PCF, which were developed in 2014, and the program was supposed to cost $ 2 trillion 850 billion rubles, “We understand that this is a serious burden for the state budget, now we were able to meet the 2 trillion 4.5 billion rubles. ” Igor Komarov said that the development of the new FCP managed to reallocate resources and optimize the cost of the launch vehicle, which has become a major feature of the program. According to him, managed to save 400 to 500 billion rubles. rocket super-heavy class. “At the same time, we have provided up to 2030 concluded all necessary payloads, which are incorporated in the PCF,” – said Mr. Komarov.

In this case the program includes work on the creation of the launch vehicle middle-class next-generation carrier rocket heavy class increased load capacity up to 37.5 tons and interorbital tugs: “This option allows us to prepare for manned flight around the moon and landing on her Russian cosmonauts in 2028-2029 years”, – said the head of the Russian Space Agency. He promised that he will create a new generation of craft objects promising manned orbital infrastructure. Mr. Komarov said that more than half of the money goes to research and development work, “that allow you to maintain the current level of research and product Roscosmos».

In the manned program until 2025 Roscosmos year will focus on “Angara-A5V” “as the primary means of accomplishing missions to the Moon” at the commissioning of the cosmodrome “East”, as well as continued participation in international projects with partners in NASA, the European Space Agency and with other countries primarily with the BRICS countries. “We are expanding scientific program and practical experiments on the ISS, as we agreed at Baikonur with NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, – said Mr. Komarov.- work on the ISS is extended until 2024, and we plan to be able to create a Russian space base using modules created by us “. In 2017, the Federal Space Agency is expected to produce multifunctional laboratory module, in 2018 – the node module, in 2019 – the energy module. “We will continue to develop launch vehicles, based on what you need to provide Russia independent access to space, as well as the unification of launch vehicles,” – said the head of Roskomosa.

The final version of the PCF, which will go to the government for approval and should be on the statement in July, 1.111 trillion rubles. (More than 55% of total funding) will go to space communications, remote sensing, launch vehicle and mission control on projects FCI – about 199.3 billion rubles. (10%), while the manned program – 694.1 billion rubles. (34.6%) (see “Kommersant” on April 22).

Why Russia abandoned the project to create your own station until 2024.

Scientific and Technical Council (STC) of the Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) considers it inappropriate to refuse to participate in the International Space Station and proposed to extend the life of the ISS until 2024. These recommendations will be considered in the formation of a new Federal Space Program (FCP) for 2016-2025 years. Read more

How to reform the Russian Space Agency went to the second round of

On January 21, President Vladimir Putin agreed with the proposal to merge the Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and the Joint Rocket and Space Corporation (ACCD) into a single state corporation. Option with the creation of such a structure was considered as early as 2012, but at the insistence of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has been postponed. Read more
