Abstract
The article deals with the issues of inspection and evaluation of the technical condition of power metal structures of systems and units of the launch complexes at the cosmodrome Plesetsk. An analysis of specific features of operation of metal structures at the cosmodrome’s launch complexes and the main types of defects occuring in these structures is carried out. The methods and means of non-destructive testing used in the inspection of the metal structures and assemblies are described. These methods can help to identify defects at the early stages of development, plan and take timely measures to eliminate the defects and reduce the risk of sudden failures of the systems and units. The article provides practical examples of the survey results using the methods and means of non-destructive testing of metal structures of systems and units of the launch complexes 17P32 and 14P25.
