[FPSPACE] CZ3 and CIS launch pad question

[M.Wade@iaea.org]

Recently the Russians have started using some new launch pad numbers, not
corresponding to the traditional 'ploshad' numbers. Does anyone know why?

LC6 = LC31
LC24=LC81R. Paired Russian pads are designated 'left' (leviy) or 'right'
(pravda) looking north. Therefore LC81L would always be reported LC81L
whether using English or Russian; but LC81R might also be reported as LC81P.
