The management of the State Corporation "Roscosmos" considers the launch of production of the ANGARA launch vehicles at the Omsk "POLET" Production Association (a branch of the Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center and a part of Roscosmos) is a priority task for the Corporation. This reported by Roscosmos press-service.

Tight control is exercised over this year’s production of the first batch of the ANGARA LVs, as well as over their transfer to the customer - the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Until the reconstruction of the POLET plant is completed, the Khrunichev Center plans to produce two ANGARA-A5 heavy launch vehicles and one ANGARA-1.2 light LV per year.

In view of that, during the transition period, payload orbiting will be executed using partially the Proton-M launch vehicle, and partially the new ANGARA LVs. The target production capacity of ANGARA LVs will be eight heavy LVs and two light LVs per year.
