Success Rockets is developing three-stage rockets, satellites and space tugs. Will it work out?
What is known about the launch of a suborbital rocket from Success Rockets?
The company is about to establish a new nationala record - to raise a rocket above all previous private companies - by 20 km. The current record belongs to the private National Space Company, which launched a rocket 15 km.
At launch, Success Rockets plans tocollect telemetry information, such as speed and pressure, to adjust the missile configuration and optimize future launches. The mission was named The bear wakes up.
What are the characteristics of the rocket?
Development of NEBO 25 began in August 2020.According to the company, the new rocket will be 3.5 m long, and the launch weight will be 65 kg. The flight speed will be twice the speed of sound.
From telemetry equipment, two search telemetry modules will be installed on the rocket. The task of this equipment is to transmit the coordinates of the location of the rocket for its further search.

Previously, Mansurov was involved in organizingIT competition "Digital Breakthrough", founded the company "Aktum" to conduct hackathons at the request of large corporations. Mansurov had thoughts about developing a private space sector about five years ago.
What else launches Success Rockets?
- Rocket Stalker
It is needed to put satellites into orbit.The maximum length is 17 m, the diameter is 1.6 m. The Stalker consists of three stages: with a thrust of 160 tons and one solid-state engine, with a mass of 5 tons and a thrust of 15 tons and with a mass of 1.5 tons and a length of 1, 5 m. So far, the company has not reported information about the launch, the network has only a project and a model of the rocket.
- Space tugs
The line of space tugs Success Rockets is designed for launching small spacecraft (SSC) from the reference orbit to higher ones, as well as for organizing scientific space missions.
There are two types of tugs in the line - the first one will bework in near-earth orbits and transfer satellites to different orbits. The second was created specifically for missions into deep space, so satellites can be sent, for example, to the Moon or Mars.
- Satellite platforms and satellite constellation
To launch satellites, the company created threeplatforms. The first one is “SKIBR-Cube”, for the lightest and smallest devices up to 10 kg, then “SKIBR-Micro” - from 10 to 100 kg and “SKIBR-Mini” - over 100, but less than 500 kg.
The company has also developed several groups of satellites:IOT and M2M- These are 24 devices that provide the global Internet of things, monitoring the state of infrastructure, tracking moving objects, for example, ships and other targets.
Remote sensing software- these are 196 devices that can constantlysound the Earth in three bands with data updated at least every three hours. This is needed, for example, to monitor forest cover, obtain information about agriculture and to monitor seasonal changes in specific areas.
There is also a group of satellites to providethe Internet - this is 510 devices that provide unlimited access to the Internet from anywhere in the world and in any weather with a subscriber terminal. This group of satellites has not yet been launched.
Cosmodrome in Dagestan
At the end of December 2020 Success CompanyRockets, together with the Dagestan Development Corporation, announced a private cosmodrome Europe for the launch of ultralight rockets. The construction of the cosmodrome should begin in the fall of 2021, and all work should be completed by 2025.
The site will house two launchers, a test site, a flight control center, a missile production complex, an airfield, and a hotel for tourists and workers.

Greenhouse Gas Monitoring System
According to the head of the company OlegMansurov, the system will consist of three segments. The first is small spacecraft that track the amount of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere, and they will also analyze how much pollutant forests are absorbing. The second is a ground station that will measure the air condition. They plan to place them near enterprises or settlements in order to analyze the amount of emissions and options for its absorption. The third segment is a hardware-computing complex that analyzes all the information received.
In 2022, the company plans to organize moreat least three launches at different heights to reach the minimum space boundary - the Karman line, which starts at 100 km. The company has already signed an agreement with the Hainan Island Chamber of Commerce (China) to host a subsidiary of Success Rockets there.
Private Russian company Success Rockets onmarket for a little over a year, but has already presented a large number of projects that may be of interest to foreign companies. For example, now, as noted in Success Rockets, they are negotiating with Qatar and the UAE, and are also discussing a joint climate project to analyze greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Now everything depends on how successful these projects turn out to be, because most of them are still being developed.
