Baikonur? I wonder why they are all blue and yellow, though… Probably has something to do with Ukraine
(????)
Dear Instanton,
This is indeed a launch pad being built, but not in Baikonur
To my knowledge, blues and yellows have nothing to do with Ukraine (and I actually have no idea what those colors mean 
)
Cheers,
Dmitry.
well certainly its a launcher pad for a soyuz rocket. and it is in french guyana (korou). the rocket soyuz will be a soyuz 2 model or ST, STA, or STK. it is planed to put satellites in GEO.
do svidania, dmitri!.
Dear Gabriel,
exactly! thanks for the complete answer
By a chance, do you happen also to know what do the colors (blue and yellow) mean?
Cheers,
Dmitry.
Hi Dmitri!. I really don?t know the meaning of the colours. I just know this is the first soyuz pad built outside Russia. I konow there is two in Baikonur and trhee more in Plesetsk. It is a nice oportunity to see the construccion of this pad wich was built under secret in times of the Soviet Union.
I?m on the colour thing…
See you,
Gabriel.-
Hi Gabriel,
if you dig something out, let us know
Cheers,
Dmitry.
