S7 Airlines bought Sea Launch
The company acquired the Sea Launch Commander ship itself, the Odyssey platform, as well as equipment in the port of Long Beach (USA). The company also began to own the Sea Launch brand. After approval of the transaction in the United States, it is planned to close the transaction in 6 months.
The company itself plans to complete 70 launches in 15 years.
S7 Group CEO Vladislav FILYOV: “The acquisition of the cosmodrome is the“ entrance ticket ”for us to the space industry. Space infrastructure is developing very rapidly, this is a very interesting line of business, which has good long-term prospects. It is planned to withdraw the complex from conservation and start the start-up activity 18 months after the approval of the transaction - approximately at the end of 2018. We expect that without large investments in the modernization of Sea Launch we will be able to make up to 70 starts within 15 years. Our approach to doing business is fundamentally different from many companies - we will not sell promises, we will sell launches only on ready-made launch vehicles. First, the rocket, and only then - the buyer. "
Questions remain: How does S7 plan to dispose of them? Will the deal be approved by the US? Where does the S7 take parts for the Ukrainian rocket?
