Russia's space agency will soon announce a tender to develop a new carrier rocket, to ensure successful implementation of its manned-flight program, a top space official said Wednesday.

"A special commission will determine the design criteria [for the new space vehicle] and the domestic companies eligible for participation in the tender," said Anatoly Perminov, the head of the Federal Space Agency.

The Federal Space Program for 2006-2015 stipulates the construction of a reusable "Kliper" spacecraft jointly with European partners, and two carrier rockets, the Angara and the Soyuz-2.

While the family of Soyuz-2 launch vehicles is already operational, Russia is still developing the entire range of Angara boosters.

Sergei Ivanov, Russia's first deputy prime minister who oversees industrial development, said earlier that the first tests of the Angara carrier rocket would start on schedule in 2011.

The Khrunichev State Research and Production Center, the Angara designer and manufacturer, will exhibit mock-up models of Angara boosters at the Dubai AirShow 2007 on November 11-15.

Just three months younger than Vladimir Putin, Sergei Ivanov’s background has much in common with that of the president.  Both are from St. Petersburg and served in the KGB.  Both men went to specialized schools (Putin in chemistry, Ivanov in English language) before moving on to study at the Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) State University.  Even though their paths continued in parallel as they both moved on to the Higher KGB School in Minsk, Ivanov says that it wasn’t until they were both assigned afterward to work in the same KGB division in Leningrad that they became acquainted.

In 1999, when former President Boris Yeltsin named Putin director of the Federal Security Council, the latter brought Ivanov, then a Lieutenant General with the FSB to Moscow to head the council’s information-analytical department.  Ivanov was also responsible for liaising with foreign security services and counter intelligence.  Their paths have not parted since and, when Putin was picked by Yeltsin as prime minister, Ivanov replaced him as secretary of the Security Council.

Ivanov's November 2005 appointment as Deputy Prime Minister made him second in line to the presidency, after Dmitry Medvedev. His February 2007 promotion, giving him a position equal to that of Medvedev while removing him from the much criticized and tarnished Defense Ministry increases the chance that Ivanov will become Putin's successor.
