The Section “Objects of Rocket Complex Ground Facilities” discussion was held at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University on January 31, 2003.

The main participators were representatives from industry, scientific and research institutes and technical Universities from Moscow, St.-Petersburg, Omsk, Kovrov, Korolev, Serpushov, Jukovcky, Reutov and Cheliybinsk. Among them were leading designers of factories specializing in ground facilities for rocket technology, the scientists from Baltic State Technical University (St.-Petersburg), Moscow aviation institute, Moscow car road institute, Omsk State Technical University, Ural State University (Cheliybinsk), Rocket Strategic Weapons Military Academy n.a. Peter The Great (Moscow) and Rocket Strategic Weapons Military institute (Serpushov) as well as students, post-graduates and professors of Bauman Moscow State Technical University.

The great parts of presented reports were very interesting and devoted to solving the pressing problems and questions on modern development of Objects of Rocket Complex Ground Facilities, which proves their actuality.

Total of 35 presented reports on different problems and questions on ground facilities and space launch complexes can be divided by following directions:

Development and application of computer-based and resource saving technologies in launch complex design; research of gas dynamics, acoustics, dynamics and heat processes characteristics in launch facilities during preparation and launch of space systems; design of methods of modeling and optimal control of launch complex servicing with expired guaranteed service time and space programs finance shortages.

In direction “Development and Application of Computer-based and Resource Saving Technologies in launch complex design” the considerable interest was attracted to the reports by D.K.Dragun, A.I.Zabegaev, V.I.Nefedov “The concept in resource-saving design of Free launch rocket complex Arrow” and by V.N.Yutkin and A.A.Goncharenko “Application computer-aided technologies for the analysis of variants of ground complexes”.

In direction “Research of gas dynamics, acoustics, dynamics and heat processes characteristics in launch facilities during preparation and launch of space systems” the most interest was attracted by reports of U.L.Arzumanov, A.V.Podderegin “The force analysis of the multichannel automatic connecting device”, V.S.Abakumov, V.V.Lomakin, N.V.Lyukevich, A.I.Zabegaev, A.V.Zharkov “Dynamic models multicoherent environment of designs for the analysis of launch processes”.

In direction “Design of methods of modeling and optimal control of launch complex servicing with expired guaranteed service time and space programs finance shortages” the most practical value belongs to results of work, presented in reports by A.G.Kusov, A.I.Lobachev, V.M.Maev, M.I.Stepanov, A.K.Suslin, A.N.Sutugin “Technological complex - Center of liquidation of liquid rockets and space-rocket equipment”, N.I.Zhukov, B.P.Makarenko, A.A.Makarov, B.P.Rigalov “Filling by fuel superheavy apogee motors in structure of space head parts and space rockets”, V.M.Maev, S.V.Timakov “Development of technology and equipment for incinerating of fragments of separated parts of space rockets from toxic components of rocket fuel in field conditions”.

Before the beginning of work of section its participants with the large interest have listened to the information of the Director and General Designer Design Bureau General Machinery (KBOM, Moscow) I.V.Barmin about prospects of development of ground facilities for Baikonur launch rocket complexes.

The active discussion of problems and results of researches promoted deeper understanding of their practical importance for creation, modernization and technical operation of various objects of rocket complex ground facilities.
