“Do we need to build another table for a superheavy rocket?” he asked at a meeting with members of the government, after listening to Borisov’s report on the first launch of the Angara-5 rocket.
“That’s right,” answered the head of Roscosmos, “we will plan and build it in Vostochny, now this is our main cosmodrome. It is actively developing according to your instructions.” According to him, 99% of the new cosmodrome facilities are ready for construction, but only 40% are already operational.
“You have to hand over everything and fill out the documents, there is nothing to fear,” says Putin. “Everything works, everything is fine.”
“Let them not be afraid of anything. Let them do it, okay?” he added, addressing the head of Roscosmos. Yuri Borisov responded that he kept the matter under control and was working on it together with the Prosecutor General’s Office and Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
