RKA Mission Control Center

Korolyov, Russia

Description

The RKA Mission Control Center (TsUP or ЦУП) in Korolyov, about 17 miles northwest of Moscow, (), has been the center of Russia’s (previously Soviet Union) space programs and today’s Russian Federal Space Agency. The Agency recently commissioned a wide scale repair and upgrade program for the TsUP facility.

After the concrete surfaces at the TsUP were cleaned and prepped, all visible cracks were opened and cut back to sound concrete, and then filled with PENECRETE MORTAR for protection against water ingress. In a final step, PENETRON, a crystalline waterproofing material, was applied in slurry form to the surface of TsUP’s below-grade concrete structures. The resulting chemical reaction – as with PENECRETE MORTAR – generates the insoluble crystalline network that fills the micro-cracks, pores and capillaries.
