At the Baikonur Cosmodrome, specialists from Roscosmos state corporation enterprises launched the Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle with the logo of the tenth, anniversary Eastern Economic Forum, which will be held September 3–6 in Vladivostok. The EEF is organized by the Roscongress Foundation.
"This year, the 10th anniversary Eastern Economic Forum is taking place. One of its main topics is the technological development of our country. It is impossible to imagine a strong and independent Russia without cosmonautics. In the Far East, in the Amur Region, one of the most ambitious and large-scale projects in history is being created – the Vostochny Cosmodrome. Launches of Russian launch vehicles from the Baikonur Cosmodrome continue. And today, a launch vehicle branded in honor of the EEF-2025 was launched. I am convinced that our country will move forward in its technological development. The order of the President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin on the accelerated development of the Far East will be implemented in full, which will stimulate the economy and improve the quality of life of our citizens," said Deputy Prime Minister – Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Eastern Economic Forum Yuri Trutnev.
The launch vehicle launched the Bion-M No. 2 spacecraft into polar orbit – a large medical and biological laboratory. As a result, some aspects of the impact of polar orbit conditions, close to those of deep space, will be studied.
"The launch of a rocket with the symbols of the tenth anniversary Eastern Economic Forum is a landmark event that emphasizes the role of the EEF as a strategic platform for the development of the Far East and the strengthening of international cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. Over the past ten years, the forum has become an effective tool for attracting investment, implementing large infrastructure projects and creating new economic opportunities. Among other tools, the forum creates the growth dynamics that the Far East demonstrates thanks to systemic state policy and active participation of business. It also reflects the technological potential of Russia and its course for sustainable development of the macro-region. The Eastern Economic Forum continues to confirm its status as a key discussion platform where the vectors of further socio-economic progress are determined," emphasized Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President and Executive Secretary of the EEF Organizing Committee.
The main theme of the EEF this year is “The Far East – cooperation for peace and prosperity.”
