Director of Spetsstroy promises to hand over Vostochny's cosmodrome on time

According to the plan, the Federal Agency for Special Construction (Spetsstroy) should be handed over to the East Roscosmos by the Cosmodrome earlier than December 2015 and this will be done, the director of the organization Alexander Volosov promised.

"All the heads of special construction work on the eastern. Work is organized in three shifts. We must hand over the Cosmodrome to the customer before December, so that Roscosmos conduct preparatory work on the carrier at the starting complex. And we will do it," said Volosov in an interview with the Russian newspaper .

As the director of the special construction noted to meet the deadlines, the operational headquarters work around the clock. "The headquarters constantly controls the implementation of construction schedules, the number of employees and equipment, monitors the supply and installation of equipment, monitors financing and control of expenses, coordinates the work on reporting. In addition, its representatives work at the most" hot "facilities of the Cosmodrome," he said.

Volosov noted that it was already possible to make a serious jerk, as a result of which the total construction readiness of the eastern with 38% increased to 80%.

"Now all efforts are concentrated on 14 launching facilities that we will hand over first of all. Most of them are already underway. The equipment is mounted at the starting complex. We mounted the equipment, now we install everything necessary at the command post, we will help in the technical unit. We will lay down on the graphics," the director of the special construction said. “I have no doubt that we will have time to prepare the eastern for the deadline established by the country's country,” he summed up.

The day before, it became known that, despite the measures taken by the government, the lag from the schedule of the construction of the cosmodrome increased even more. Such a conclusion was followed from the report of the leadership of Roscosmos made to the Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, who oversees the eastern. In the Ministry of Construction, to correct the situation, they proposed to attract students to participate in the construction of the cosmodrome. On the eve of the lack of workers in the construction of the Eastern, during a video conference with Rogozin, the head of Roscosmos Igor Komarov said.

Regarding the timing of Komarov, he said that "there were no cardinal changes during the construction and pace of construction and installation work." According to his data, according to the starting construction, the lag behind the schedule is 120 days, according to the command point - 60 days, according to the installation and test complex of launch vehicles - also 60 days, according to the installation and test complex of spacecraft - 90 days. At the gas station, the lag behind the schedule is 30 days and there is a tendency to increase the deadline, Komarov noted.

In September 2014, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the lag from the schedule is from a month to two. Now from the data of Roscosmos it follows that this period has increased even more.

Earlier, due to the breakdown of the deadlines for the construction of the eastern, the leadership of Roscosmos was dismissed. Dmitry Rogozin in March during the inspection trip to the cosmodrome assigned liability for the breakdown of the construction time at Spetsstroy, threatening representatives of the organization of "personal and financial liability".
