The Progress Rocket and Space Center in Samara, manufacturer of Soyuz rockets, imported equipment to the production site, but Western sanctions did not affect rocket production. In this respect Interview with socialbites.ca said Dmitry Baranov, Director General of RCC Progress.
“The Progress production site contains several thousand pieces of equipment, including foreign-made ones. The equipment was purchased at different times for the implementation of various projects for the creation of space technology. Many machines have been modernized,” said Baranov.
At the same time, according to him, Western sanctions cannot in any way affect the work of the Progress RCC, including within the framework of the International Space Station (ISS) project.
“The production of launch vehicles and remote sensing spacecraft is not dependent on the US and European countries,” said Baranov.
After the introduction of US and EU sanctions against Russian space enterprises, the head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin promised to concentrate the resources released due to the restriction of cooperation on the creation of bilateral and military systems. Among those sanctioned was Samara RCC Progress, the manufacturer of Soyuz rockets, which are also used for launch to the ISS.
