‘The most important issue on the agenda is to start works of the second stage as soon as possible, that is, the construction of a launch pad for Angara, a technical area and related infrastructure. We must start construction in May this year’, Rogozin said in a video conference during a meeting of the commission for the construction of the Vostochny spaceport.
In addition, the Deputy Prime Minister also ordered to set up a permanent operational headquarters at the site of construction.
In May 2017, Roskosmos state corporation announced that an approximate cost of building a second launch pad would be 58 billion rubles. All the construction activities are expected to be completed in 2023.
