CORONA is a single-stage-to-orbit launch vehicle capable of performing vertical takeoff and landing.[1] It was developed by OAO GRTs Makeyev from 1992 to 2012. However, the development was declined due to lack of funding.[2] In 2016, the company announced plans to resume the development of the CORONA vehicle.[3]

Overview

[edit]

CORONA is intended for launching payloads to low Earth orbit with an altitude of 200–500 km (120–310 mi). It has a launch mass of 280–290 tonnes (620,000–640,000 lb) and is intended for launching payloads weighing up to 7 tonnes (15,000 lb) with traditional use or up to 12 tonnes (26,000 lb) with a special scheme for launching into low Earth orbit. However, the payload capacity goes down to 6 tonnes (13,000 lb) and up to 11 tonnes (24,000 lb) respectively when launching from Russia. With the use of reusable boosters that form a launch complex with it, the launch vehicle provides launching into orbits with an inclination of up to 110° up to altitudes of 10,000 km (6,200 mi) and returning from them if necessary.[4]
