2024: Start of Serial Production
August 12, 2024 production association "Flight" (branch of the State Space Research and Production Center named after M.V. Khrunichev; part of the state corporation Roscosmos) announced the start of mass production of Angara missiles. The carrier is created with the prospect of launching manned ships. He will have to become the main means of launching the modules of the Russian orbital station.
According to TASS, the organization of the serial production of "Angara" was announced by the general director of the center. M.V. Khrunichev Alexey Varochko. According to him, in 2024, "Flight" handed over products within the framework of serial contracts with the state customer. Varochko said that as of 2024, work is underway to retrofit the production facilities of the Omsk branch of PO Polet in order to ensure the annual production of launch vehicles in the planned amount - eight Angara-A5 carriers per year.
Today we can say that the mass production of Angara missiles at our Omsk branch has begun, "Varochko emphasized. |
He also noted that the Angara-A3 rocket occupies an intermediate position in terms of the mass of the payload output in the Angara family of unified modular carriers. For Angara-A3, the stage of design work has been completed, while its launches are possible from the launch complex of the Vostochny and Plesetsk cosmodromes. The center named after M.V. Khrunichev also proposed the option of reusable use of a bundle of the first and second stages of the Angara-A5M rocket or the Angara-A5V rocket. All theoretical calculations were confirmed within the framework of the protected draft design for the creation of the hydrogen "Angara-A5V." According to Varochko, the Angara-A5M carrier will be created in 2025.
It is advisable to use one heavy-class rocket at both the Vostochny cosmodrome and the Plesetsk cosmodrome. The issues of replacing the Angara-A5 missile with the Angara-A5M missile require the development of a number of organizational documents, Varochko added.[1] |
