"At the stage of flight design tests, it is envisaged to carry out 4 development launches of MTKS-I in 1983-1984.
In Q4 of 1984 MTKS-I can be put into operation.
The comprehensive program provides for further development and improvement of the MTKS system towards the creation of a reusable returnable 1st stage of aircraft type. The creation and development of such a system, as follows from the network model, is possible in the period 1980-1990.
2.3. Time frame for the creation of the RLA-150 launch vehicle
An assessment of the possible development time of the RLA-150 launch vehicle was carried out taking into account the basic principle inherent in the design and consisting in maximum unification of the modules of the first stage of the RLA-150 with the first stage of the RLA-120; oxygen-hydrogen unit RLA-150 with the corresponding unit MTKS-I. In view of the above, the creation time
The RLA-150 is determined, first of all, by the capabilities of the production base and the readiness of the ground complex.
As follows from the network model of the program, Fig. 16 flight tests of the RLA-150 can begin in the fourth quarter of 1980.
Since 1982, with the help of RLA-150, the deployment and subsequent operation of the lunar expeditionary complex is carried out; in 1988, a powerful geostationary satellite is launched.
2.4. Time frame for the creation and deployment of a permanent orbital station complex
The main factors limiting the time frame for creating and deploying a station are the possible time frame for creating and testing station systems with large resources, including life support systems, power supply, etc., as well as the capabilities of production and experimental bases."
