- Abstract
Based on the outstanding heritage and present day achievements in the field of launch vehicles creation and modernisation, Yuzhnoye State Design Office focuses special efforts on the newest developments able to meet the strict market requirements. The paper is going to present, for the first time, the whole spectrum of the perspective launch systems being under development or en route to implementation by the company. The systems in question cover wide range of the payloads and respective orbits currently in demand. The Gun Launch System in its different modifications is able to deliver tiny payloads, e.g. nano- and smaller satellites to the near Earth orbit. On the other end of the range – the Land Launch complex, a modification of the successful Sea Launch system, with land-based launch site at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The payload mass that can be injected by the Land Launch to GEO reaches 3600 kg. In between, there are several original developments that include, among others, air launch systems such as MicroSpace, Orel, Space Clipper based on middle to heavy aircraft, and Mayak family which is being created on the basis of Zenit and Cyclone launch vehicles using highly reliable, flight proven components. There will be presented main technical characteristics of all the systems, as well as expected performances and development status.
