“It was decided to continue the production of this rocket, but in a modernized version. The project will be called “Rokot-M,” he told RIA Novosti.
The technical design of the rocket has been completed; the production of working design documentation has begun.
“For the implementation of the Rokot-M project, we plan the same cooperation, but the Briz-KM upper stage will be equipped with a domestic development management system for the Scientific and Production Center for Automation and Instrument Making,” Varochko explained.
Earlier, the media, citing a source, reported that the Khrunichev Center was resuming the Rokot production program.
