It is specified that the annual demand for LNG will be at the level of 2.8 thousand tons

MOSCOW, March 18. /TASS/. At least 13-14 launches of the advanced launch vehicle "Amur" with a return stage are expected annually by 2030. This is stated in the presentation presented by the Executive Director of Roscosmos for Advanced Programs and Science Alexander Bloshenko at the annual international LNG Congress.

"At least 13-14 launches per year are projected by 2030," the presentation says.

It is specified that the annual demand for LNG will be at the level of 2.8 thousand tons.

In October last year, Roscosmos and the Progress RCC signed a contract to develop a preliminary design of a space rocket complex with the first Russian reusable methane-powered rocket, the Amur. The rocket will receive a returnable first stage and will be launched from the Vostochny cosmodrome in the Amur Region. In February, the General Director of the Progress Rocket and Space Center (part of Roscosmos) Dmitry Baranov told reporters that the preliminary design of the Amur methane launch vehicle is planned to be completed in the third quarter of 2021.

The "Amur" with a reusable return stage will be able to launch up to 10.5 tons of payload into low Earth orbit, compared to 8.5 for the Soyuz-2 series of rockets.
