Hazegrayart | Vostochny Cosmodrome: Russian Angara Launch @Hazegrayart | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
The Vostochny Cosmodrome, a state-of-the-art Russian spaceport, nestled in the Amur Oblast of Russia, was established as a substitute for the politically sensitive Baikonur Cosmodrome situated in Kazakhstan and leased by Russia until 2050. The Vostochny Cosmodrome was specifically created to abate Russia's reliance on Baikonur, which had become a contentious issue in light of the simmering tensions between Russia and Kazakhstan.
Incepted in 2010, the formidable construction of the Vostochny Cosmodrome bore fruition with its groundbreaking first launch in April 2016, proving to be a historic moment for Russia's space program. The Vostochny Cosmodrome caters predominantly to unmanned spacecraft and has the capability to launch a broad spectrum of rockets, including the Soyuz-2, Angara, and the much-anticipated Rus-M rocket.
The Vostochny Cosmodrome is a significant cog in Russia's space program and is poised to play an integral role in its future space exploration efforts. It has the potential to propel Russia's economy to new heights by creating new job opportunities in the region and attracting international customers for its awe-inspiring space launches.
Music: National anthem of the Russian Federation
