Soyuz-2 will be the first launch vehicle to take off from the Vostochny spaceport in the Amur region. The launch site is under construction. The spaceport will be put into service in 2015. Launches of Soyuz-2 rockets from Vostochny "will put to orbit new payloads, including Earth monitoring satellites, and prepare for manned missions, which may start in 2018," Federal Space Agency deputy head Vitaly Davydov said. Soyuz-2 launch trajectories will go above water, which will require new techniques for saving astronauts in the case of emergencies, he said.
