Missiles and Launchers

Lardier, Christian

In 1955, Sevruk OKB‐3 had undertaken the development of the nitric acid/kerosene S3‐41 engine for the R‐15 missile of OKB‐586. In April 1961, OKB‐586 proposed the development of space launchers derived from ballistic missiles. The R‐24 was a small‐scale, medium‐range mobile ground‐based missile project powered by liquid propellants, which was to be developed by the OKB‐1 subsidiary at Plant No. 1,001 in Krasnoyarsk. The R‐36 was developed in two variants: ICBM and orbital rocket. With the creation of Glavkosmos in 1985, the USSR entered the commercial space market. In 2019, Yuzhnoye proposed the Tsiklon‐1M light launcher using Tsiklon‐4M technologies, which could be launched from Ukrainian territory. Since 1965, Brazil has launched probe rockets, two scale models of the VLS in 1985 and 1989 from the Barreira do Inferno Launch Center near Natal. In December 2006, Brazil began working, in partnership with the Makeyev Center and NII KhimMash, on the Cruzeiro do Sul family of launchers.
