“Yesterday we received the necessary funding, budget limits were set for opening the second stage of the Vostochny cosmodrome,” Rogozin said.

He expressed the hope that at the end of April-May, earthwork and concreting of the launching table for Angara type rockets would begin.

Rogozin also said that at the present time the question is being “completed,” which is connected with the preparation of the order of the Cabinet on the commencement of work and the selection of a single performer.

It became known earlier that at the Vostochny cosmodrome they opened a route for launching spacecraft to the ISS.
