Since crewed launches from Vostochniy Cosmodrome will require overflight over water after the early stages, I would imagine that there either will have to be a new fleet of tracking and ships built (or a NIP in the Pacific); the implication is that Soyuz crew launches from Kourou may be possible, as well.

Who knows if there are going to be a an EROS-C launch this year from Svobodny (Vostochny) space site? Anxious to see the launch alive as I am living not far away from a space site.

Does this mean, that EROS-C has been cancelled or that the launch using the Start vehicle has been cancelled?

There was message on Novosti kosmonavtiki magazine's forum that development of EROS-С satellite is stopped, and the launch planned for the end of 2010 from Svobodniy cosmodrome will not take place.

According to some friends of mine from Svobodny, Russians are in full readiness for a launch of Eros-C, moreover the launch has been prepaid some years ago. Perhaps, there is a police change? Israelis are willing to make friends with arabs? (no more spies over their heads) There is another opinion: as the Eros A and B are successfully operating in the orbit, there is no need for more satellites, but when problem occur,preparations will begin.

According to Novosti kosmonavtiki forum, the reason for stopping of EROS-C development is budgetary restrictions.

Does that mean the Start has been retired, or could it be used for future launches?

No, everything is fine with Start, Eros-A and B were launched with such accuracy that Israelis were nicely amazed, I doubt that they can find a better launching service then ZAO Puskovie Uslugi, not to mention the cost of the launch itself (it's extremely competetive).  It makes me believe that budgetary restrictions affected Israeli side if money is the reason. Still, many questions...

New Russian space launch pad moving ahead

"Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Thursday his nation will spend about $1 billion this year alone to build a new space launch pad in the far east that should ease the Russian space program's reliance on ex-Soviet neighbour Kazakhstan."

So, for which launch vehicle would the first pad be built?
