The paper considers the problems in constructing and qualitatively assessing the spaceport technical complexes that are engaged to ensure ground preparation of the rocket and space technology systems. They are representing sophisticated technical systems characterized by complex construction structure, ability to provide solution to a wide range of functional problems, as well as by a complex parametric image that includes a large number of the technical characteristics. The paper proposes a methodical approach to assessing quality and efficiency in creating the spaceport technical complexes capable of taking into account specifics of a wide range of functional problems solved by them, and also reflecting completeness of their technical characteristics. As the main assessment criterion, it proposes to apply the technical level indicator, which is the most important generally accepted quality characteristic of the complex technical systems development for both the military and civilian purposes. The indicator is a generalized characteristic of the physical properties, capabilities and degree of technical novelty of a system under consideration. The paper proposes and substantiates structure of the integral evaluation indicators characterizing technical level of the spaceport technical complexes, and establishes its relationship with the main stages of their life. Each of them is characterized by its own specific indicators and quality criteria for the ongoing processes, and corresponds to the specific tasks. Application of the proposed approach would improve the validity of the management and technical decisions taken at all stages of creating the spaceport technical complexes, and would also make it possible to solve the problem of selecting the most preferable design appearance of a technical complex from a variety of the acceptable alternative options.
