The article discusses the methods of satellite image classification to determine general types of forest ecosystems, as well as the long-term monitoring of ecosystems changes using satellite imagery of medium spatial resolution and the daily data of space monitoring of active fires. The area of interest of this work is 100 km footprint of the Zotino Tall Tower Observatory (Zotto), located near Zotino settlement, Krasnoyarsk region. The study area is located in the middle taiga subzone of Western Siberia, and presented by the left and right banks of the Yenisei river. For Landsat satellite imagery supervised classification by the maximum likelihood method was made using ground-based studies over the last fifteen years. The results are the identification of the 10 aggregated classes of land surface and composition of the study area thematic map. Operational satellite monitoring and analysis of spatial information about ecosystem in the 100-kilometer footprint of the Zotto tall tower allows to monitor the dynamics of forest disturbance by fire and logging over a long time period and to estimate changes in forest ecosystems of the study area. Data on the number and area of fires detected in the study region for the 2000-2014 have been received in the work. Calculations show that active fires have burned more than a quarter of the footprint area over the study period. Fires have a significant impact on the redistribution of classes of land surface. The area of all types of plant ecosystems declined dramatically under the influence of fires, whereas industrial logging does not have a serious impact on it. The results obtained in our work indicate the highest occurrence of fires for lichen forest types within study region, probably due to their high natural fire danger, which is consistent with other studies. The least damage the fire caused to the wetland ecosystem due to high content of moisture and the presence of a large number of fire breaks in the form of open water.

The research examines the process of electron-beam welding in the keyhole mode with the use of beam oscillations with different focusing regimes on the example of stainless steel - grade 502. We study the impact of longitudinal beam oscillation and their parameters on the shape of the keyhole, the character of the processes of heat and mass transfer and weld’s parameters, to develop methodological recommendations for electron-beam welding with oscillation. A numerical three-dimensional mathematical model of electron beam welding is presented. The model was developed on the basis of the combined solution of heat conduction equation and Navier-Stokes equation in the moving coordinate system with taking into account phase transitions at the interface of solid and liquid phase. The boundary conditions at the free surface of the weld pool and on the keyhole walls are presented by thermocapillary convection (Marangoni effect). As input parameters the form of keyhole and distribution of the beam energy on the keyhole walls based on experimental data on the parameters of the secondary signal in the plasma over the welding zone by using the method of a synchronous accumulation are used. The keyhole was approximated by an oblique elliptical cone with a spherical apex. Such an approach eliminates the need to take into account all the complex factors that affect the formation of the keyhole. Calculations of thermal and hydrodynamic processes have been carried on a cluster using a simulation package COMSOL Multiphysics. Comparison of the calculated and experimental cross sections of the welds showed good agreement. With the help of the proposed method during the research characteristic features of the beam power distribution for different focus modes were identified. The analysis of the significance of various factors on the formation of the keyhole geometry has been conducted.

In this article a multiagent approach for organizing an ensemble of optimizers, based on the meetings between algorithms is presented. During the optimization process the agents exchange with best solutions and better algorithms receive more resources in the form of meetings. Among agents the six genetic algorithms with different operators and three particle swarm optimizers have been selected. The proposed approach of ensemble-based optimization problems solving is applied to the problem of designing a fuzzy rule base. The fuzzy rule base consisted of a fixed number of rules, for every variable and every rule the membership function was defined with two sigmoidal functions. The encoded parameters were the points where sigmoids reached 0 and 1, so that the problem of designing a fuzzy rule base reduced to a real-valued optimization problem. The number of real-valued parameters depended on the dimension of the classification problem. The effectiveness of the algorithm was compared to the self-configured genetic algorithm, solving the same problem of designing a fuzzy rule base. The classification quality was estimated using the accuracy values; the sample was split with 70 and 30 ratio. As classification problems, six problems have been selected from KEEL and UCI repositories, including credit scoring problems, medical diagnostics problems, banknote recognition and seeds’ forms. Two more classification methods have been selected for comparison, more precisely, support vector machines (SVM) and another fuzzy classification method, in which the term numbers were encoded. According to the testing results, it should be mentioned that the multiagent algorithm has shown the effectiveness, comparable to other method when solving complex optimization problems.

Computer technology development has opened great opportunities for researchers in the field of dynamic systems optimization offering new algorithms and ways of their combination into complex and powerful intelligent information technologies. A great interest in the field of machine learning has been given to dynamic objects identification and pattern recognition in computer vision systems in particular recently. Computer vision problems arise in various fields: industry, security and surveillance systems, data acquisition and processing systems, computer-human interaction systems, etc. Neural networks are widely and successfully used for solving machine learning tasks. Neural networks are computer models based on network of nerve cells of a living organism. Using classical neural network causes major difficulties for solving computer vision tasks as they require significant computational and/or time resources for learning as well as they lose important information about topology of the original data. For this kind of tasks a special type of neural network called convolutional neural network was developed. Convolutional neural network (CNN) is the part of subfield of machine learning called deep learning. CNN is used as the main technology in this paper. It allows to build complex hierarchies of features and perform objects identification based on them. Using of the pooling layers provides invariance to size of the image and concept of parameters sharing can significantly reduce the number of parameters that have to be adjusted and therefore save computational costs and time. Standard training method for neural network (back propagation) has certain weaknesses that can be partially eliminated by using a evolutionary optimization algorithm. The quality of the solution depends on the neural network structure, which can also be adjusted using evolutionary algorithms. In this paper, the self-configuring genetic algorithm SelfCGA is used for CNN’s structure and weighting coefficients adjustment. Proposed system is tested on the task of age identification based on the person’s photo.

An original engineering conception of the navigation antenna module design, involving the idea that a dielectric substrate of the antenna element is made of a ceramic in the form of a turned cup provided with the patch on its top and metalized cavity, in which all active elements are placed, is suggested. The cup-shaped antenna element has additional advantages against the patch antenna of a traditional form: it has a wider matching band, higher radiation efficiency, a wider radiation pattern, and a wider (up to 1.5 times) meridian angle range, with circular field polarization. Metamaterial, used in the antenna element of an all-ceramic type antenna module, allows obtaining a circular field polarization even at low elevation angles, which only a quadrifilar antenna has. To work with all operating GNSS systems (in the extended bandwidth), an antenna element, which has two planar axial elements placed on the common substrate, is proposed. The antenna element can also be designed to work in 2 bands, for example, in L1 and L2 GLONASS/GPS or in L1 and L2 GPS/GALILEO. A multi frequency stacked antenna design method with opposite feeding of the antenna elements, which provides the antenna element isolation of more than 25 dB and identical radiation patterns is suggested. It is proposed to use for multipath mitigating a special type of the EBG-metamaterial and, as well, a special method of multipath mitigating ground plane mounting, which doesn’t narrow antenna element radiation pattern and doesn’t spoil phase center stability.

The main results for radiation testing electronic parts of flight lots on dose effects of long-time low-intensive influence of space ionizing radiation is observed. Such test approach provides for the given component a computational-experimental radiation design margin estimation, which is based on part's experimental radiation hardness determination at the stage of the spacecraft onboard equipment acquisition. The test complex includes two Co-60 panoramic gamma apparatuses with adjustment of gamma-radiation dose rate in a range from 0,1 rad/s to 0,01 rad/s, and a dosimetry system for calibration of a gamma-radiation field in terms of the dose absorbed in silicon with uncertainty no more than 2,5 %. The results of testing bipolar parts manufactured in Russia have shown that as the dose rate decreases, radiation hardness depending on the change in the dose rate may either increase or decrease. Incidental uncontrollable changes in the production technologies of parts occurring within a period of time less than a year and causing changes in radiation hardness of parts on dose effects to an order of magnitude are found out. If the absorbed dose is less 30 krad for bipolar parts the dose rate effect can be found out on the basis of a higher recovery rate of parts parameters after irradiation at high dose rate in the course of the subsequent annealing at room or raised to 100 °С temperature. It is shown that under the conditions of the time-varying dose rate that models aftereffects of high-power Sun flash, the bipolar parts characterized by the effect opposite to ELDRS, temporary parametric failure is detected. The discovered dose effects are offered to be taken into consideration when updating the standard test methods.

In this case study the influence of destructive environmental factors such as humidity, temperature and UV radiation on the adhesive strength, microstructure and properties of coatings of radio-reflectivity antenna reflectors made of polymeric composite materials (PCM) has been analyzed. For the test samples we used carbon and fiberglass units with various reinforcement schemes. Radio-reflective coated surfaces are multi-layer composition, which has been applied by vacuum metallization method via magnetron usage. For the coating we’ve designed the layout drawing for the vacuum chamber, which enables a multi-layer coating process to be applied to large surface area of a product per load. This helps to improve the quality and performance of the coating process. Sputtering of one- and two-layer coatings on samples of carbon fiber and fiberglass has been made for the research purposes. When the coating process was completed, the samples were tested in climatic chamber. Studies of adhesion strength of coated samples before and after environmental tests have shown that the double-layered coated samples have greater cohesive strength than the monolayer. In single-layer coating adhesion is 1-2score at the bilayer - 0-1 score in ISO 2490. A noticeable influence of destructive factors on the adhesion strength is not revealed. Morphology and elemental analysis of the coating showed that the coating is distributed uniformly over the surface and noticeable changes after the test in a climatic chamber have been detected. Therefore, it could be concluded that the coatings deposited according to the proposed technology are resistant to the environment and can be used as coatings radio-reflectivity terrestrial reflector antenna.

The article focuses on the creation of dimensionally stable integrated thin-walled structures made of polymer composite materials by the binder partially cross-linking. The relevance of the work lies in the increased requirements for aerospace structures: an increase in structural strength and reduce its weight. A partial cross-linking method allows you to create integrated design with a low weight due to lack of mechanical fasteners. The partial cross-linking method allows you to create integrated design with high strength, stiffness and dimensional stability due to lack of additional materials besides matrix and reinforcement. It allows to get the principle of continuity of the final material. The additional advantage of the partial cross-linking method is molding structure in one process cycle. This article describes the current state of the partial cross-linking manufacturing technology and research results identified previous work. We analyzed the curing step of the hot temperature polymer binder and determined optimal parameters of cure for solve the problem about maximum adhesion between two part of integrated structure and minimal cycle time for organize of serial production. In this article we have shown a mold construction for production composite material by RTM with the partial cross-linking method and heat exchanger construction to heat extraction from partial cross-linking area. We conducted a thermal design for different heat exchanger construction and we chose the best construction for this case. We produced the mold for resin transfer molding and we get a sample of material with partial cross-linked area.

In present paper we consider magnetization reversal of layered nanocomposite magnetic film FM/NM/FM/AFM. Magnetic film consists of magnetic sandwich structure FM/NM/FM applied to antiferromagnetic substrate (AFM). Nonmagnetic spacer (NM) divides magnetic sandwich involving two ferromagnetic layers (FM). Differential equations describe magnetization distributions in each magnetic layer of magnetic sandwich. We use the following boundary conditions in pointed task. Fixed boundary condition specifies the boundary between ferromagnetic layer and antiferromagnetic substrate and free end boundary condition specifies the boundary between ferromagnetic layer and vacuum. In addition to that two boundary conditions simulate nonmagnetic layer. One of them is nonlinear. Landau-Lifshitz differential equation describes magnetization process. We wrote this equation in coordinate system bounded with magnetization rotation angle and distance from ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic boundary to simplify calculations. Carrying out our investigation we obtain algebraic equation defining magnetization threshold fields, construct applied field projection of magnetization graph. Magnetization curve shows hysteresis caused by uniaxial anisotropy. We obtain a graph showing a hysteresis loop thickness depends on nonmagnetic spacer physical characteristics to demonstrate how nonmagnetic spacer has effect on magnetic hysteresis properties of multilayer magnetic film. Investigation results could be used for prediction of some physical characteristics of magnetic FM/NM/FM/AFM films.

The article discusses the reliability of automated control systems. The approach to the classification systems for health States is analyzed. This approach can be traditional binary approach, operating with the concept of “serviceability”, and other variants of estimation of the system state. This article provides such option, providing selective evaluation of components for the reliability of the entire system. The description of various automatic control systems and their elements from the point of view of health and risk, mathematical method of determining the transition object from state to state, their difference from each other in the implementation of the objective function are introduced. The interplay of elements in different States, the aggregate state of the elements connected in series or in parallel is explored. There are the tables of various logic States and the principles of their calculation in series and parallel connection. Through simulation the proposed approach is illustrated by finding the probability of getting into the system state data in parallel and serially connected elements, with their different probabilities of moving from state to state. In general, the materials of article will be useful for analyzing of the reliability of the automated control systems and engineering of the highly-reliable systems. Thus, this mechanism determined the State of the system provides more detailed information about it and allows a selective approach to the reliability of the system as a whole. Detailed results when assessing the reliability of the automated control systems allow the engineer to make an informed decision when designing means of improving reliability.

In this case study an improved design of the spray-gun electric arc metallizer has been analyzed. To analyze the factors affecting the process of spraying a computer simulation with SolidWorks Flow Simulation to analyze gas-dynamic of spraying process of the electric arc metallizer EM-17 has been conducted. After analysis of identified weaknesses for industrial electrometallization device (large spray angle, low speed and flow instabilities) several construction design changes were offered. We proposed an upgrade design of spray device which is used as a nozzle with a cocurrent, compressing the main stream of the air stream. To confirm the theoretical research an experimental model of a spray device with improved design was made. During the tests it has been found that the spray angle dropped from 45°-60° to 15°-20°, efflux was more stable and uniform. Comparative analysis of the performance of the deposition showed that when using the advanced-gun, it increased by an average of 25 %. Comparative experimental study on deposition of different materials has been conducted. Metallographic studies sprayed samples showed that the coatings provide improved metallizer are more uniform and have less porosity. The microhardness of the coating has a higher value. Increased strength of adhesion of the coating to the substrate is 30 %, and corrosion resistance increased by 15 %. Decreased porosity of the coating is 20-30 %. The utilization of materials increased from 0.6 to 0.85.

The paper deals with modeling of elemental composition and properties of heterogeneous layers in multilayered shields to protect spacecraft onboard equipment from radiation emitted by the natural Earth’s radiation belt. This radiation causes malfunctioning of semiconductor elements in electronic equipment and may result in a failure of the spacecraft as a whole. We consider four different shield designs and compare them to the most conventional radiation-protective material for spacecraft - aluminum. Out of light and heavy chemical elements we chose the materials with high reaction cross sections and low density. The mass attenuation coefficient of boron-containing compounds is 20 % higher than that of aluminum. Heterogeneous shields consist of three layers: a glass cloth, borated material and nickel. With a protective shield containing heavy metal the output bremsstrahlung can be reduced. The amount of gamma rays that succeed to penetrate the shield is 4 times less compared to aluminum. The shields under study have the thicknesses of 5.95 and 6.2 mm. A comparative analysis of homogeneous and multilayered protective coatings of the same chemical composition has been performed. A heterogeneous protective shield has been found to be advantageous in weight and shielding properties over its homogeneous counterparts and aluminum. The dose characteristics and transmittance were calculated by the Monte Carlo method. The results of our study lead us to conclude that a three-layer boron carbide shield provides the most effective protection from radiation. This shield ensures twice as low absorbed dose and 4 times less the number of penetrated gamma-ray photons compared to its aluminum analogue. Moreover, a heterogeneous shield will have a weight 10 % lighter than aluminum, with the same attenuation coefficient of the electron flux. Such heterogeneous shields can be used to protect spacecraft launched to geostationary orbit. Furthermore, a protective boron-containing and nickel coating can be deposited onto a finished housing frame of space equipment.

In this paper the model of the cathode spot of a vacuum arc is considered in the framework of the drift-diffusion representation. The use of the drift-diffusion approximation allows doing without calculation of the functions of particle distribution by energy, as well as without taking into account different energy reactions, which are not associated with change in particle charge. Using the average characteristics of positively and negatively charged ions, while their parameters are taken from experiment, eliminates the need to take into account a large number of basic reactions of interaction between the various components of metal vapor. It is shown that the field intensity of the plasma column is significantly reduced. The given column is surrounded by the bulk charge of slow positive ions, providing high field intensity in front of it. While forming a plasma reaction zone, ionization of the metal vapor occurs mainly in a thin layer in front of the ion cloud, and the ion recombination predominates in this column. Ionization provides a constant elongation of conducting plasma column and moving the bulk charge layer on the outer boundary of the current state, i.e., towards the cathode. This, in turn, leads to a displacement of the local maximum of the electric field and to the displacement of the zone of intense ionization, and provides the movement of the so-called ionization wave. The field intensity in the plasma channel is less than in front of it. The field intensity it is too low and the impact of ionization in the channel does not occur. The key role is played by the loss of electrons due to recombination process.

In the article the factors influencing innovative development of the economy of the territory as the condition of their rapid development taking into account peculiarities of the development of local administrative-territorial entities are examined from positions of territorial competitiveness. Traditional and new trends, laws and legal conditions for the development of local administrative-territorial entities are explored. We formulate a new approach to achieve priority development areas, show the role of the state as a subject of management and examine existing organizational forms of the development management local administrative-territorial entities. The features of self-organization of closed administrative-territorial units (CATU) reveal the sources of their funding and determine conditions of transformation of the individual CATU in the territory of advancing socio-economic development (AASED). The need to establish a special legal regime of entrepreneurial activity of CATU in order to create favorable conditions for attracting investments, ensuring accelerated socio-economic development in accordance with the Federal law of December 29, 2014 № 473-FZ “About territories of advancing socio-economic development in the Russian Federation” is revealed. It is noted that for increasing the competitiveness it is necessary to ensure sufficient economic freedom and economic initiatives of local administrative-territorial entities. The rationale for the development of new organizational forms of management of development of territories, formed on the basis of economic autonomy, building systemic import substitution and innovative development that determine the competitiveness of the territory is considered. Some recommendations concerning the choice of measures of regional economic policy implemented in accordance with the principles of import substitution, to ensure economic independence of the territory, subject to the requirements of the market, the use of the internal resources of the territory are discussed. It gives the opportunity to provide a solution to the problem of increasing economic efficiency and competitiveness of local administrative-territorial entities.

Formation of innovative economy in Russia requires a theoretical understanding of the innovative space category which is poorly understood by economists. This is especially important in the formation of post-industrial socio-economic structure, which entirely depends on the scale of innovative activity, growth in the number of innovation-oriented objects, their spatial extension based on the horizontal and vertical spatial relations. The purpose of this article is to look for possible methodological approaches to categorical definition of innovative space as a special economic category. In this regard, three possible admissions to the study of innovative space were proposed, in accordance with which a generalizing definition of this economic category was made. As a first methodological technique a systematic set of spatial principles, in order to characterize the basic properties of innovative space from the point of view of natural science concepts of space is used. The second methodological technique, proposed in the article, is based on the use of ideas about the properties of the innovative environment, which largely determine the properties of the innovation space. To study the structural composition and spatial coordination of innovative space objects it is proposed to use another methodological technique based on the application of systemic principles. The article focuses on the fact that innovation space is an open self-organizing system, and therefore this is the object of study on the basis of system approach. The result has been substantiated backbone element and innovative system-function space, defining its single functional purpose. The main conclusion of this work is expanded definition of considered economic categories, according to which innovation space is defined as a system’s form of organization of innovation activity objects based on socio-economic relations that are innovative and aimed at the transformation of reality, characterized by an appropriate structure, configuration and territorial extent. The problem of innovative space research and the ways of its organization have significance for any of the sectors of the economy, including for the space industry (RCO). This is so that the spatial organization of innovation sphere of RCO, which involves finding solutions for the coordination of innovative infrastructure objects with varying degrees of remoteness from each other, as well as broken or not formed over different integration links.

The modern period, defined as the transition to a post-industrial type of development, enhanced rapid globalization of the economy and its crisis manifestations encourages as Russia as a whole and its regions seek new opportunities to strengthen the innovative products of its economy and its competitiveness in domestic and global markets and increase living standards. One of these possibilities is networking business enterprises, government, science and education in the framework of production and regional clusters or regional technological platforms, enabling better to concentrate resources on promising directions to obtain economic results and its synergistic effect. The paper analyzes the factors of innovative development in the Krasnoyarsk region, features and individual advantages. The necessity and the possibility of activity regional technology platforms as a connection format business resources, territory, public bodies and authorities are considered. The general direction of development of European, Russian and regional platforms is shown. It expands the practice of interaction of subjects of innovative development of the technology platforms, including the role and place of social and professional structures on the example of the Association “Siberian Research and Education Consortium”. RTP forms of association and real projects in cooperative interaction are shown. The most fruitful regional technology platforms manifest themselves in the direction of information and telecommunication technologies and space for innovative development of Siberia, as part of the same federal technology platform. On the basis of the analysis a strategic vector of innovative development of the region as the inclusion of the major industries in the global project Asia-Sibir-Evropa is considered.

Innovation growth in the Russian Federation is accompanied by the high level of risks. A significant number of the world rankings which do not suppose Russia to be a leader confirms this fact. It is necessary to take into account risks that each process includes dealing with innovations in the space industry due to the rapid growth of the negative consequences of violations in the “normal” functioning of economic processes. Building up the risk management of innovations in the space industry should be implemented based on the need to solve the following problems: to set up a unified regulatory framework, to have an ability to predict the results, to organize clear and timely communication, qualification and training of plant staff. To solve these problems there is a provided conceptual approach of risk management of innovations in the space industry. The conceptual approach is formed on the basis of the goals set by the company in the field of risk innovation management. Implementation of the conceptual approach involves adherence to certain principles at work. As a part of the approach it is supposed to manage risks through their identification, formation of risk management strategies, process optimization based on a strategy of innovation risk management. Optimization of the process should be carried out using the introduced method of innovation risk management in the space industry. The technique includes an analysis of the processes that are vulnerable to innovation risks using tensor method of risk analysis.

Reorganization of the rocker and space industry management, the penetration of the Russian enterprises in the commercial market and increase of federal funding were the key factors in the development of Russian rocket and space industry enterprises in the last decade. With the development of space technologies and the desire of mankind to commercialize space, Russia needs to develop global commercial market of space products and services to hold the lead in space industry. Obstacles for efficient capture of commercial markets is the lack of investment resources for the implementation of advanced and revolutionary projects, the lack of balance in the innovation and investment and the subsequent failure to complete product development in time. This sets the problem of a proper choice of innovative projects, search for sources of investment and effective coordination of investment flows and stages of innovation. The study of theoretical positions in determining the nature of innovation and the innovation process, investments and the investment process has allowed to formulate the concept of innovation and investment in the rocket and space industry. Investigation of the features of Russian rocket and space industry enterprises helped to identify the key characteristics of their investment and innovation activities, so the balance was determined by the nature of the investment and innovation with regard to their specificity. This allowed to most accurately define the goal of balanced development of innovation and investment in the RCP, which is to increase the effectiveness of the company and capture of commercial markets through the introduction of a competitive innovative products and increasing the profitability of investments, as well as in the preservation of skills and effective and timely updating of production assets. It is concluded that the creation of a planning innovation and investment activity balance involves the development of approach, which will allow companies to harmonize the goals of the RCP and to provide structured performance.

In the proposed article the authors described the problem of shortage of skilled workers in Russia. They considered the main causes of this problem. They described an example of preparation of personnel in Germany on the basis of the dual training. The authors present brief description of the project of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives for training workers, meet the requirements of high-tech industries, based on the dual education. They described in order of the Government of the Russian Federation on a range of measures aimed at improving the system of vocational education, as well as providing increased productivity, creation and modernization of high-performance workstations. The article noted that without government support the modernization of the system of secondary vocational education is impossible. In addition to state support of development of secondary vocational education it is necessary to consolidate the resources of business, government and education. The authors listed proposals to change the legislation of the Russian Federation aimed at motivating companies to participate in the practice-oriented (dual) model, the training of highly skilled workers. They assessed the participation of companies and universities of the Krasnoyarsk Territory in the project for dual education. They examined the effects of the dual vocational training in the preparation of highly qualified personnel in the innovative development of industrial enterprises. The article noted that the project on the transition system of vocational education in the regions of Russia on the practice-oriented (dual) training will form on innovative enterprises is staffing, which will ensure increased productivity, and will contribute to the acceleration of the bottom of the process of creation and modernization of high-performance work places. At the same time, enterprises can take advantage of not only the state system of training, but also to get government support to offset their own costs.

At present a great attention is paid to the problem of increasing the efficiency of Russian rocket and space industry control. In this article we discuss the structure of the United Rocket and Space Corporation. This corporation was established in order to exclude the duplication of functions and technical solutions and to concentrate on efforts and resources for implementation of scientific-research and experimental-design works meeting the modern requirements. We identified the requirements in the strategic management of the Russian rocket and space industry during the period of its reform. We reviewed the notion of the “strategy” and the main approaches to its definition. It was revealed that there is no unambiguous and universal notion of strategy, however, we certainty can say about its quantitative and qualitative terms. We tried to clarify the definition of the notion “strategy”, in view of the ongoing structural changes in the rocket and space industry. The character of the interaction between the levels of management strategies for various types of functional strategies was defined. We have defined the necessity of developing of the concept of balanced strategies to the Russian rocket and space industry. The main principles of the concept of balanced strategies will be: the principle of balance of functional strategies; compliance with the principle of financial stability and reproduction of innovation capacity; the principle of balance of functional strategies in relation to the production for the state defense order; the principle of limited financial resources allocated to the state defense order.
