Missiles should be less environmental damage: experts "Plesetsk" changing track orbiting spacecraft

At the Plesetsk new route launch spacecraft, including that minimizes damage to the environment as during normal landing detachable parts launcher, and during emergency situations. With this statement, as passes Interfax, made by the representative of the "Plesetsk" Space Troops, Colonel Vyacheslav Gamov.

In Arkhangelsk held scientific and practical conference on the use of parts falling OCHR.

"Currently, the withdrawal of spacecraft is based on the harmonized lines starts with the maximum reduction in the number of districts fall - stressed Gamov. - Continuation of these studies was the rationale for cost routes run, one of the characteristics which compared with existing is minimizing unintended harm to the route of flight if the fall of emergency flares. "

The representative of the military-scientific committee Space Forces Dmitry Ovsyannikov one example of optimizing the trails start called the fact that from 2000 to 2008 of 73 launches from the Plesetsk launch site 28 launches were conducted using the sea areas fall, including 27 missile launches on ovom fuel.

These include RH Cyclone-3, Cosmos-3M "," Rokot "(as the fuel they use asymmetrical () and nitrogen tetroxide).

"The sea water residual propellants decompose, as demonstrated by the study for 5 hours - underscored Ovsyannikov - and do not cause such harm to the environment, as if the fall in areas on land."
