MOSCOW, September 21. /TASS/. The future of the floating spaceport "Sea Launch" should be determined in the near future. This was announced by the General Director of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin on Tuesday during the scientific and practical conference "Orbit of Youth".

"Soon the fate of the sea launch will be determined definitively," Rogozin said.

The head of Roscosmos added that it is planned to adapt the floating spaceport for the launches of promising Soyuz-5 launch vehicles.

The Sea Launch cosmodrome consists of the Odyssey floating launch platform and a command vessel. The program operated until 2014 - 32 launches of the Zenit rocket were carried out from a platform based off the coast of the United States. In 2014, the launch activity of the Sea Launch was suspended, and in September 2016, the S7 group of companies became the owner of the rocket and space complex.

In the spring of 2020, the command ship and the platform moved from the coast of the United States and moored at the pier of the Slavyansky Ship Repair Plant in Primorye.
