List of names of basic let out production

Today, Salyut DB as an affiliation of the Khrunichev Space Center are carrying out the following projects:

- Upgrading the Proton LV;
- Development of Angara, a family of light-weight, medium-weight or heavy launch vehicles;
- Development of the Baikal type of reusable launch vehicles (RLVs);
- Development of upper stages using either high- or low-boiling propellants, including the Breeze family, KVRB (LOX/hydrogen upper stage), UKVB (generic LOX/hydrogen block) and KRB (LOX upper stage);
- Development of the Dialog E, Intersputnik M1 and Intersputnik M2 small communications satellites;
- Development of FGB2, a component of the Russian Segment of the International Space Station (ISS);
- Control of spacecraft flights during either flight tests or routine operations including involvement in the control of the ISS;
- Creation of space complexes designed to support earth’s observations, space communications and/or research. Spacecraft are being built around Yakhta (’Yacht’), a generic space bus, and are to be injected into their required orbits by the Rockot, Angara 1.1 or Angara 1.2 light-weight launch vehicles;
- Cooperative research or application studies and developments including innovative high-tech space- or environment-oriented areas; development and construction of experimental facilities to simulate spacecraft functioning in space.
