All production facilities of the Khrunichev Center will be moved from Moscow to Omsk, and the production of rocket engines will be moved from Khimki to Perm. This was announced by the head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Bakanov.
As for the Omsk site. Indeed, we are moving all the production facilities of the Khrunichev Center from the Fili district to Omsk.
Bakanov added that the legendary Energomash enterprise is located in Khimki. However, he called the cost of industrial serial production "exorbitant".
There are a lot of overhead costs due to the 92 hectares of production facilities that are located there.
The head of Roscosmos reminded that there is already a modern enterprise "Perm Motors" in Perm, equipped with the latest technology. It is there that the serial production of engines will be transferred, while the design bureau will remain in the same place.
Roscosmos plans to diversify production facilities, increase efficiency and reduce costs against the background of the remaining scientific and design base in Khimki.
Earlier, Dmitry Baranov, Deputy General Director of Roscosmos for rocket projects, announced that the corporation is already working on creating an upgraded version of the Angara-1.2M light launch vehicle. But the first launch will take place no earlier than 2035.
