The Plesetsk spaceport in northern Russia will be able to conduct up to 20 launches of the latest Angara carrier rockets annually after the works planned before 2025 are completed, Defense Minister Army General Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday. This reported by TASS.

"The fulfillment of the works for creating the Angara space rocket compound planned before 2025 will make it possible to carry out up to 20 launches of Angara light and heavy carrier rockets annually and to ensure Russia’s guaranteed independent access and permanent presence in outer space," the defense chief said while inspecting the Angara space rocket compound's readiness for launches and hearing the reports by the command of the Aerospace Force.

The Angara universal launch compound includes over 130 structures and more than 50 technological systems, according to the Defense Ministry’s data.
