In 2021, at least six launches are planned from Vostochny, including the launch of Luna-25
Dmitry Rogozin, CEO of the state corporation Roscosmos, announced plans to launch carrier rockets from the Vostochny cosmodrome in 2021.
To date, only five starts have been completed from Vostochny. This year, it was planned to organize five more launches, but in fact, not a single one has been completed yet. It is expected that the only launch in 2020 will take place in December – 36 OneWeb satellites are to go into space.
In 2021, the intensity of launches from the East should increase. “ Next year we plan to carry out about six to seven launches from Vostochny and further [their number] to increase, ” TASS quoted Mr. Rogozin as saying.
It is from the Vostochny cosmodrome that the Luna-25 automatic station, which is being created under the Luna-Glob project, is to be launched next year. This device will study the surface of our planet’s natural satellite in the circumpolar region, as well as develop soft landing technology.
