Yubileyniy (ICAO: UAON, FAA LID: XXX) is an airport in Kyzylorda Oblast, Kazakhstan. It is part of the Baikonur cosmodrome, 40 km north-north-west of the city of Baikonur (at the site of 251 cosmodrome Baikonur) in the desert region of Ushkyzyl.
The airfield is leased by Russia from Kazakhstan as part of the “Baikonur” complex. The aerodrome operator is FSUE “TsENKI” (until 2017, the aerodrome was operated by “Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center)”.
Yubileyniy airfield supports all types of aircraft (including An-225 "Mriya"). The maximum take-off weight is 392 metric tons.[1]
Spacecraft are delivered to this airfield on flights from Moscow, Krasnoyarsk and other countries (for their preparation and launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome). In 1997–2011, the aerodrome received passenger flights carrying administrative and technical personnel.
History
The airfield was built in the early 1980s for development work on the reusable spacecraft program, Buran, which landed there in November 1988 after a single flight.[2]
The decree establishing the landing complex was adopted in October 1977, on the eve of the 60th anniversary of the October Revolution. The airfield received the name "Jubilee," in connection with this occasion. NPO Molniya was designated as the lead developer of the planting complex, and the 20th Central Design Institute of the USSR Ministry of Defense carried out the design.[3]
In 1979, crews from 130th Engineering Department began construction on the runway, with a length of 4500 m and a width of 84 m. The runway was built of monolithic high-strength concrete M-600 with a thickness of 26 to 32 cm on a sand-cement foundation with a thickness of 18 to 22 cm. The total volume of excavation work is about 2 million m3 soil. The first stage of the airfield facilities was commissioned in November 1981.
The first landing was made in February 1980 by an Mi-8 helicopter from the aviation regiment of the Baikonur Cosmodrome, based at the airport "Extreme." On January 29, 1982 an An-26 from the air regiment spaceport was the first to land. The first transportation to Baikonur of elements of the reusable space system “Energia - Buran” by plane (VM-T) took place on April 8, 1982.
From 1982 to 1990, 59 VM-T flights were made to deliver large-sized elements of the space complexes "Energy" and Buran. Buran spacecraft were transported to the Yubileiny airfield Ramenskoye airfield near Moscow and the units of the Energia launch vehicle - from Izymyanka airfield in Kuibyshev (now Samara).
The airfield belonged to the Ministry of Defense. After 1992, the airfield was abandoned and partially looted.
In 1995, the need arose to reconstruct the aerodrome to support heavy aircraft from the United States, transporting American spacecraft to launch under international commercial programs. Yubileyny became Khrunichev Space Center, the manufacturer of heavy launch vehicles Proton. Recruitment for the work of the new (civil) aerodrome personnel was initiated. Radio navigation, radio communications, lighting, meteorological and other equipment were updated, and the runway was overhauled. In 1997, these works were successfully completed and the experimental airfield was put into operation.
In 2017, the airfield was transferred to the FSUE "TsENKI". A reconstruction of the airfield was planned for 2018.
Geography
The terrain is a slightly wavy plain (absolute marks 95–120 m). 4 km northeast of the airfield is mountain Ushkızıl (altitude 135 m).
The flora includes wormwood-boylychy (northern) desert. The soils are brown desert-steppe. 8 km north of the airfield are sand Darbas.
No permanent watercourses and reservoirs are nearby. In the spring, after snowmelt and rain, takyr, small temporary lakes up to 0.5 m deep form.
