Russia Funding New Spaceport - redOrbit
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Monday that the country would provide $800 million to help jump start the construction of a new cosmodrome to ease its dependence on a Soviet-era launch site in Kazakhstan.
"The government has made a decision to earmark $809 million over the next three years for the start of the full-blown construction of the Vostochny Cosmodrome," Putin said in televised remarks at a government meeting.
Russia rents its main Soviet-era spaceport Baikonur from neighboring Kazakhstan. It said it plans to build a new one near the town of Uglegorsk in the Far Eastern Amur region and it should come online by 2015. "
