), several customers came to us who are ready to work with us," he told RIA Novosti, without specifying what kind of customers they were.
According to Sergei Kuznetsov, the general designer of the Salyut design bureau, we are talking about orders for a light version of the Angara-1.2 rocket.
“We launched the heavy" Angara ", and they immediately came to us to order a light one," Kuznetsov noted.
The agency reports that in addition to missiles for flight tests of the Angara missile system, the production of four heavy missiles for the Ministry of Defense has been ordered, as well as three heavy missiles for the first launch from the Vostochny cosmodrome through the Roscosmos line.
One Angara-1.2 was ordered by a South Korean commercial customer in 2016.
As the head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin reported, at least two launches of the Angara rocket are planned in 2021.
