What does this mean for Russia...
In fact, this is the most important event in Russian cosmonautics in recent decades. Firstly, “Angara” and specifically its version “Angara-A5M” is the first completely new launch vehicle developed after the collapse of the USSR. Moreover, it was launched from the first purely Russian civilian cosmodrome, which will gradually replace the Baikonur spacecraft remaining in Kazakhstan.
And not just a new carrier, but also a heavy-class carrier, which, when the development program is finally completed, will make it possible to launch loads up to 37 tons into orbit (The version that launched today can lift a load weighing 24.5 tons into orbit).
And this is the most important key to a huge number of new Russian space programs, including flight and exploration of the Moon, as well as flights into deep space.
This is also a powerful impetus for growth in the high-tech sectors of our economy, which will spread throughout the entire economy of the country.
Congratulations to all of us on this huge achievement. And also with the fact that the Angara-A5M from Vostochny completed the entire flight program the first time.
Huge respect to the specialists of Roscosmos!!! You are our pride.
