Annotation: One of the courses in the evolution of space rocket complexes is the relocation of launch sites for space launchers to the World Ocean. Firstly, it provides the opportunity to render space services for countries that encounter complications in fi nding locations for spaceports on land. Secondly, it allows for a larger number of launch azimuths. Thirdly, it helps to increase the payload capabilities of space launchers lifting from launch sites closer to the equator. The article reviews the current global progress in utilizing ships as part of sea-based space launch sites. It notes that more and more countries are becoming interested in the development and construction of maritime space launch sites. As one of the leading enterprises in the rocket and space industry, Yuzhnoye State Design Offi ce also conducts relevant research and development, which has already yielded a conceptual design for such a launch site for the Cyclone-1K lightweight space launcher. A specifi cally equipped naval vessel was selected as the launch platform for this rocket. The article outlines initial data applied for the overall design of the launch facility and the launch platform in particular. The design process involved modern software for 3D modeling and fi nite element analysis. A conceptual view and the primary characteristics of the launch platform, obtained through the design, are presented. The platform’s primary systems are described. The specifi city of equipment arrangement to support launch vehicle preparation and ensure the liftoff , as well as the relation between such arrangement and the launch platform’s appearance and internal structure, are demonstrated. The results of this work will be valuable for the practical implementation of the sea-based space launch site project. A fl oating launch platform is the essential element of a sea-based space launch facility, as it accommodates everything necessary for launching space rockets from the sea surface. Thanks to the versatility of the fl oating launch platform, it is possible to outline its appearance and characteristics according to the strategy for the launch services market.

Key words: sea launch, sea-based space launch site, space launcher, fl oating launch platform

Annotation: The article deals with the problems of applying new approaches to formation and improvement of operation system. Turning of space hardware and services into marketable commodity requires their new qualities that determine competitiveness. The main task of presented works was approbation of new approaches to improvement of space launch systems operation quality and operation process effectiveness by the example of prospective Cyclone-4M space rocket complex. The works to form and improve its operation system were performed using the methods based on general theory of space systems operation and the pocedures based on the results of research work conducted by Yuzhnoye SDO in 2015 for analytical evaluation of launch services costs. The topicality of the article is confirmed by the results of practical application of new approaches in main directions of Cyclone-4M space rocket complex operation system improvement, which allowed increasing commercial attractibility of Yuzhnoye SDO-developed systems due to reduction of direct recurring costs and annual expenses. The article describes the course of development of operation model of a created object; based on investigation of the processes of this model, the object’s performance characteristics are detemined. The basis of the article are the organizational-and-technical decisions used herewith and the results obtained for Cyclone-4M space rocket complex. The article is of practical interest for specialists involved in creation of space rocket complexes and other sophisticated systems where the operation system is a multi-level organizational-technical system.

Key words: space hardware, launch services, performance characteristics, operation model, organizational-and-technical decisions
