Vostochny Cosmodrome (1983: Doomsday)

The Vostochny Cosmodrome (Russian: Kosmodrom Vostochny "Eastern Spaceport") is a Siberian spaceport, located in the Amur Oblast, in the Russian Far East. It was built to serve as the USSR's principal spaceport after the destruction of the Baikonur Cosmodrome on Doomsday. Construction started in 1991 and ended in 1998. The total area is 551.5 km, being a region approximately 30 km in diameter.

Area
There are seven launch pads at the site, including two for manned flights and two for space freighters. An inter-agency working group for managing the construction has been created, and work to design other crucial elements of the cosmodrome's infrastructure is in progress. Vostochny's geographic location means that rockets are be able to carry almost the same amount of payload, as they could when they were launched from Baikonur.

Purpose
The new cosmodrome enables the Socialist Union to launch all missions from its own soil, and made Siberia completely independent from the Guyana Space Center.

So far, the agency has succeeded in successfully launching the first GLONASS satellite named "Tsiklon" (Russian: Циклон), while the Mir Space Station is still in early planning stages and serious development will begin sometime after 2020.

International cooperation
League of Nations Authority for Space Operations and the USSR has signed the "Guiana Treaty" referring to the location where the decisive negotiations took place in November and December 2008. This, however, does not hinder the Siberian's in their military projects and they have launched a few spy satellites from Start-1 platforms mobile platforms that do not fall under LoNASO authority.
