At the central distribution point, the reinforcement instead of the coupling is connected by welding, the wall is built there with violations. With defects, rainwater tanks are made.

The day before, the head of the County Chamber of Russia Alexei Kudrin announced new cases of thefts identified during the construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome. In Roscosmos, according to Kudrin, expenses are irrational, prices in procurement are overstated, objects are often frozen, and the funds in the accounts are “dead”. In total, the Accounts Chamber revealed for 2017 151 violations in the work of Roscosmos in the amount of 785.5 billion rubles.

Last week, the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation said that in cases of violations during the construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome, more than 140 criminal cases were instituted , and the total damage exceeded 10 billion rubles.

The Eastern Cosmodrome in the Amur Region began to be built 6 years ago. Its cost is estimated at hundreds of billions of rubles, several billion were stolen . The first launch from the East was scheduled for April 27, 2016, but due to problems it took place only the next day. The second start - in November 2017 - was unsuccessful. In Roscosmos, the loss of 19 satellites was explained by the error of the algorithm of the Frigate acceleration unit . The last launch passed on February 1 of this year.
