First stage of Vostochny spaceport construction was completed by 30%

The first stage of the Vostochny spaceport construction in the Amur Region in the Russian Far East is 30% fulfilled, Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said in an interview with the Rossiya-24 TV channel on Friday. This reported by TASS.

"Under the first construction stage only six out of 19 facilities have been put into operation. About 20 billion rubles [around $320 million] have not been spent. They will be used for the second stage and for finishing the construction of the first stage facilities," the vice-premier commented.

"All comprehensive measures have been taken to complete the first stage facilities. The construction of three of them will be carried out by the Center for Operation of Space Ground-Based Infrastructure. The construction of the basic facility, the launch pad for the Angara carrier rocket, has started under the second stage. The work is gradually gaining the required pace," Borisov added.

The Vostochny spaceport in the Amur Region in the Russian Far East is the first national civilian space center. Large-scale work to build the spaceport’s infrastructure and technical facilities started in 2012.
