All systems ready for use

TsENKI said all the work was completed in full and on the previously set schedule. The organization said all systems had been returned to their original condition, met the requirements of operational documentation, and were ready for their intended use.

TsENKI reported in April that a test stand for the new-generation crewed transport spacecraft (PTK NP) had been installed at Vostochny. In March, the state corporation Roscosmos said work had been completed to restore the service cabin at launch pad 31 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, which is used for Russia's crewed space program.
