Vostochny is preparing not only for testing the promising transport spacecraft "Orel". The cosmodrome may receive infrastructure for the promising reusable rocket "Korona". An engine has already been developed for it, and other parts of the rocket are also being created.
The innovations that are possible at Vostochny are reported by "TASS" with reference to the words of the head of "Roscosmos" Yuri Borisov during the launch of the first program of preliminary training of cosmonauts based on MAI.
I think that in the future, perhaps, we will land "Korona" there [in Vostochny] - this is a rocket that the Makeyev SRC is developing for us.
It is known that rockets of this type will have a low cost of launching payloads into orbit up to 6 tons and delivering cargo from orbit. It is planned to be used up to 100 times. Refueling, launch and landing will be simplified, and the "Korona" itself will have a vertical system of takeoff and landing.
