An analysis of the mechanical, chemical and pyrogenic impact of the Baikonur Cosmodrome on the environment showed the presence of man-made impacts of the first stages (FS) used on the ecosystems of the impact zones (IZ). This article presents the concept of a controlled landing of spent launch vehicles with liquid rocket engines (LRE) in the expected zones of damage to the ecosystems of the area while maintaining the energy-optimal launch scenario of the launch vehicle. Purpose of the article - development of effective technologies for reducing the anthropogenic impact during launches of promising rockets from the Baikonur Cosmodrome based on theoretical and experimental studies of innovative technologies: reducing the area of impact of parts from launch vehicles; fire and explosion safety, no danger of rocket launchers; controlled descent of used first stages; To solve the problem, it is proposed to create an additional IASM, which will be included in the environmental management system of the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Possible design solutions are proposed based on the evaporation of untreated liquid waste from the tanks of separated parts, their fire and explosion safety, and the use of the obtained vapor-gas mixtures for controlled unloading of separated parts while moving along the landing trajectory to the optimal area. The authors of the article have developed evaluation criteria that characterize the main environmental indicators of the studied areas: fire hazard, soil cover and impact on vegetation are studied for inclusion in the IASM. There are objective requirements and basic rules for the creation of HIASM, which is an integral part of the environmental management system of the cosmodrome.
