Russia’s Finance Ministry has proposed more than RUB 10 billion for infrastructure at Vostochny Cosmodrome during 2027–2029, according to reports published on November 12, 2026. The proposed work would support additional rocket types at the existing launch site.
The PRIME news agency reported that the ministry identified Soyuz-5, Start-1M, and, subsequently, the reusable Amur-SPG as vehicles to be served by the infrastructure. The funding forms part of amendments to the federal budget package for 2027 and the planning period covering 2028 and 2029.
The government approved the amendments for second reading, according to PRIME’s account of the ministry announcement. The amount is a proposed budget allocation for construction over three years.
Infrastructure for Additional Rocket Types
The announcement concerns the ground equipment and facilities that allow a cosmodrome to handle different launch vehicles. The ministry’s stated objective is to expand the rocket types that can operate from Vostochny.
The vehicles span different intended launch roles. The ministry describes Soyuz-5 as a medium-class rocket, Start-1M as an ultralight vehicle, and Amur-SPG as a future reusable medium-class rocket. It explicitly places Amur-SPG later in the planned sequence.
The TASS account likewise attributes the proposal to Finance Ministry materials and identifies the same 2027–2029 spending period. The reporting describes construction intended to enable those launches.
Ground infrastructure links a rocket program to a particular operating site. A vehicle’s transport, preparation, fueling, and launch arrangements form part of that connection. Adding a vehicle to a cosmodrome’s planned operations places those ground activities within the site’s development program.
More than RUB 10 billion is the proposed amount across 2027–2029, rather than an annual allocation. The budget amendments would finance construction intended to add Soyuz-5 and Start-1M operations, with Amur-SPG identified as a subsequent addition.
