Start delayed, but the launch site is ready: the state commission that decides? – BBC News

Start a rocket from the spaceport Vostochny in the Amur region postponed, at least until the morning of 28 April. April 27 for fifteen minutes before takeoff carrier rocket triggered automation, which canceled the launch. The causes are now understands the state commission. And Vladimir Putin, who came to Baikonur to watch the start, decided to stay there until the decision of the State Commission and held a separate meeting.

At night on the Amur-time president returned to the cosmodrome East and made a number of important applications. Apart from the obvious achievements in the space industry a lot of problems and sloppiness. The fault is not unusual and terrible, but they should not be and can not be repeated so often.

Putin arrived at the meeting of the State Commission on flight tests, which at the time was discussing the reasons for the transfer of the first launch from the cosmodrome. The President recalled that the first time you’ve been here 6 years ago, when everywhere else was taiga and open field. And now the obvious done a lot

“I hope I will have the opportunity to say thank you to those who faithfully work here and without any exaggeration launch of a new, essentially the first civilian spaceport in Russia -.. this is a huge step in the development of the Russian space industry. I say it will be an opportunity to thank those who have worked in good faith. But I remind you that there were many problems. I had to bring a six criminal cases, four people were arrested. Two of them are under house arrest, and two in jail sitting. But if the fault of those who are suspected of committing an offense is proved, they will have to change the warm and homely bed in the prison bunks. this had no doubts. Nevertheless, I repeat, in spite of all these difficulties and problematic issues in general, the movement today to the regulatory status of the construction of the cosmodrome to achieve and the level reached today’s launch failure is associated, as far as I understand, and colleagues reported here do not condition the spaceport, and with the very missile system “-.. Vladimir Putin emphasized <. / p>

Everything went according to plan until almost the last minute. Mobile service tower departs from the rocket “Soyuz-2.1a” remains on the launch pad. There is a countdown. And then for fifteen minutes before start-up sound team manager of the translation of the launch complex to its original position

“The attention of the head reported on the readiness of the operation from the shift rocket fifth..” -. Sounds in the air

The rocket “Soyuz-2.1a” continues to be on the launch pad. Start postponed for a day.

Manual “Roscosmos” a few minutes later announced that there was a malfunction of the automated control systems.

“Who is able to locate enough clear space problematic, where would it all happen and now works on working out, or use the spare set and determine the exact reason. “- Having reported the CEO of the state Corporation for space activities” Roskosmos “Igor Komarov

If this is the missile system.” The Union ” , you need to remember how important money is invested in recent years in the development of the space industry after her actual collapse in the 1990s.

“were even voices seem to be at first glance, responsible people that need a Do we do this industry? this is an expensive industry, we have plenty of sausage and bread. But this is clearly minded people, because the loss of high-tech areas such as space rocket, in our country will not be any more sausage, no bread, no oil. On the contrary, we will lose prospects. Thank God that the time came around, bearings, and in recent decades the state invests in the aerospace sphere a lot of money “, – stressed the head of the Russian state

Although the missile industry demonstrates, according to Putin, the good pace of development. there are obvious failures and the work and effectiveness of the use of money invested in it.

“We had to take a valiant effort to pick out the public money the industry out of the pocket banks. But this is not the only thing that we had to pay attention to and which has no direct relationship to any high-tech production, neither science nor technology. I understand also that the development of new technology, and we know and see that this technique is mastered, may not function properly. It is natural. It goes without saying. I repeat once again: people who aspire to a result, but face problems, and then overcome them decide, you only need to maintain. And I want everyone to know, such support will be. But if I’m the head of the industry Komarov says that of the four failures at Kourou launches two – because of bad weather, and two – due to the fact that there is some kind of unit was in an improper state, the question arises. You know, you do not even need to be an expert in this complex industry, as the rocket to ask him that they could not deliver in the desired condition? Or could not check before mounted? What is that? Is this really complex mathematical calculations? In my opinion, this is due to sloppiness and a lack of control over all elementary, but so important to the industry processes, “- continued the president

All the last week from the French Kourou tried to launch a Russian rocket.” The Union ” . it was possible only with the fourth attempt

And now -. fails to launch from the Baikonur East

“Without a doubt, you will have to draw conclusions.. Because, yes, of course, we remain leaders in all of these shortcomings. Russia remains the leader in the number of starts. It is a fact, but it’s good, then, that faced with a lot of crashes – this is bad. And, of course, must have a relevant professional timely response to what we see. Here I am not interfering with the work today, I would like to hear what you’re doing an analysis of today’s events as you report your co-chairs, and what will be the reaction. Depending on this, of course, I will adjust their plans either to stay or to come again. But, I will definitely come, “- promised Vladimir Putin

According to the latest President’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, President remains in the Amur region If the state commission will decide on the start of the possibilities on April 28 that Putin would be.. watch the start
