With Putin having decreed the Russian ISS segment should consist of 8 modules by 2015, and the recent increase in the space budget, has any work on modules beyond the Node Module been done or planned?
Plenty of plans.
Is work being done on the Node module?

I understood work had been done, based on info here and the fact both modules were presumed to launch by 2012. Haven't seen any pictures, though, which is a bit odd.
And plans... yeah, many a country has paper spacecraft and rockets.
Could someone enlighten us? Anik?

How long did it take to get the Buran shuttle orbiter to get bolted to the Energia booster? For example the US shuttle takes nearly the entire day from rollover to the VAB to final systems check of the entire stack before rollout to the pad.

Thing is the news postings from Khrunichev contain the actual timings and orbit details at the time of the launch. Surprisingly Astra-1K details remain, but then again it wasn’t Khrunichev’s fault!

Thank you… I have seen that Tsenki document and the ILS mission overviews. JCSAT11 is an interesting one because of the non-standard 1st stage timings.

I have some questions about the ground support equipment for the R-7 series:
1. Where are the rockets fueled? Looking at satellite images of Baikonur and Plesetsk, I can't see the usual propellant tanks that stores kerosene and (most importantly, due to boil-off) liquid oxygen around the pads. So how are the rockets fueled before launch? And what is the timeline for fueling?
2. Is pad 43/3 at Plesetsk still in active service? The pad was not used for any launches since the disastrous failure of the Soyuz-U/Foton-M-1 launch in October 2002, so was the (minor) damages to the pad repaired? If done, then why would the pad be left unused?
Thanks!
