Dear Sergey Shoigu, Alexander V., Sergey! Dear comrades, friends and colleagues!

For his part, congratulate you on the successful launch. As planned, today conducted its first test launch rocket heavy class “Angara-A5″.

Indeed, for our space industry, and, perhaps, and Russia as a whole it is a great, very important event. I recall that on July 9 this year, was successfully launched lightweight carrier rocket “Angara”. And thus, we are consistently implementing larger-scale national program, now colleague just talked about it, – a program that actually opens a new stage in the exploration of space.

In a heavy launch vehicle “Angara- A5 “used the most advanced technology. And it can help guarantee can be displayed on any existing and future orbit spacecraft, with both military and economic, scientific purpose: they are designed for a system of missile warning, reconnaissance, navigation, communication and relay. Thus we seriously strengthen Russia’s security.

Note that all parts and components of complex “Angara”, this too has said Russian. In its development of cutting-edge technology used in full compliance with current standards, including environmental requirements. This significantly reduces the load on the environment.

In the future, these rockets will be launched from Plesetsk and will replace their predecessors – the “Proton-M” and “rumble”.

I thank all the participants of today Hours: engineers, designers, testers, soldiers. You have come to the fulfillment of the task in front of you with all the responsibility, their success showed that Russia remains one of the world leaders in space exploration.

You know very well that you have in front of a lot of work. Over the next 5 years (end of development work is planned in 2020), starting from next year will spend more a series of launch vehicles of different classes. I am confident that the work will be done with the same responsibility, as this stage, and we will leave to new frontiers in space.

Thank you all very much. Congratulations and all the best for the coming 2015!
