The launcher "Soyuz-2.1a" arrived at the launch site "Vostochniy", the launch is set on the beginning of 2016. For the first time in the history of space this launcher will be equipped with Russian on-board video monitoring system (BSVK).

Transmitting to the earth video information of the launch condition during flight the system provides additional control of space equipment operation.

The first Russian on-board video monitoring system for launchers was produced at IRZ. All smart elements of the system — from digital cameras to software — are IRZ customer development.

Confirming piloting skill of its first BSVK, IRZ will be able to produce similar systems for other launchers, boosters and spacecrafts.
