The AEROCOSMOS air-rocket and space complex
is a highly mobile flying spaceport that does not require the construction of expensive ground-based launch facilities.
The carrier aircraft delivers the rocket to the launch site, where it is launched in the air, passing through the densest layers of the atmosphere. That is, in practice, the aircraft performs the functions of a reusable first stage of the PH.
STRUCTURE: built on the basis of the Il-76 (Il-76MF) aircraft
and the Shtil (SS-N-23) rocket.
PURPOSE: the air-rocket space complex is designed to deliver payloads to various near-earth orbits, including geostationary orbit, the carrier rocket is a liquid-fuel four-stage ballistic missile.
CHARACTERISTICS:
weight - 45.6 t,
length - 18.7 m,
diameter - 1.9 m.
MAXIMUM PAYLOAD CHARACTERISTICS:
weight - 950 kg,
length - 2.284 m,
diameter - 1.65 m,
volume - 3.6 cu.m.

compared to traditional ground launch
Padalko G.I.
Space is space. There is nothing like it on Earth.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION OF THE COMPLEX
The aviation rocket and space complex is designed to deliver payloads to various near-earth orbits, including geostationary orbit.
The Aerospace project uses a re-equipped Shtil (SS-N-23) rocket launched from a retrofitted Il-76MF carrier aircraft.

Aerospace participated in the 7th Eurasian Aerospace Congress.
On July 24, 2025, the 7th Eurasian Aerospace Congress was held at the site of the National Center "Russia", where Maria Ulyanova, Director of the International Cooperation Department of JSC "Aerospace", presented the report "International cooperation in the space industry. Russia and China. Commercialization of space services".
In her report, Ulyanova M.Y. provided comparative analysis on investments in the space industry of Russia and China, according to which Russia is moving towards 35% of private investment, but lags behind China (70%+). The International Space City of Wenchang is an example of a "space Silicon Valley" with exponential growth, operating according to the model of the ecosystem "factory-cosmodrome-data".
In 2024, commercial space exploration was included in the report of the State Council of the People's Republic of China as a strategic goal, which accelerated its growth. For the period of February 2025, the number of companies registered in the International Space City of Wenchang amounted to 700 companies. This exponential growth was driven by the industry's shift from the dominance of state-owned enterprises to market-oriented models involving private companies.

This exponential growth was driven by the industry's shift from the dominance of state-owned enterprises to market-oriented models involving private companies.
M.Ulyanova emphasized: "The projects that will be successful will be those that will transition to full-fledged industrial cooperation, technological cooperation, taking into account such an indicator as "high economic and social returns." Joint projects (for example, the International Lunar Station) can accelerate Russian commercialization.
The report also cited management models that have ensured China's success in the space industry, including a "three-tier" model, an "open door" policy, and educational integration.
The report reported on the use of China's useful experience for the development of the space industry in Russia.: such as government support for space industry startups (benefits and grants), as well as a flexible government + private sector management model, where control remains through the Chinese National Space Agency (CNSA), but transfers 70% of operations to private companies.
Using the example of several private space companies, an analysis was given of the opportunities offered for the development of the Russian space industry by entering the market of the International Space City of Wenchang (China).
The main ones are: access to infrastructure, financial and tax benefits, access to emerging Asian markets, technological exchange, circumvention of sanctions and settlements in national currencies.

The implementation of the Russian Space Theater Complex Project correlates with the four main themes of the UN Space 2030 Agenda, Space as an Engine of Sustainable Development: space economy, space society, accessibility of Space, space diplomacy.
This project, the Russian Space Theater Complex with High-tech Infrastructure and related thematic facilities, is planned to be implemented in the International Space City of Wenchang in the Free Port Zone of Hainan (China), opening it as an "international window into Space" for all Mankind. This increases the role of Russia's image as a space power abroad and becomes especially important when the relevance of the "space agenda" in the world is growing.

Creation of a test site for systematic testing of the latest rocket engine for the reusable rocket of the Corona project
In June 2023, a large joint project was completed to create a Test Site (ground infrastructure) on the territory of Aerocosmos CJSC in the suburbs of Chelyabinsk in the Zvezdny aerospace technology park
The development of the most reusable rocket is being carried out by the V.P. Makeyev State Rocket Center (general designer V.G. Degtyar), the development and testing of the rocket engine is being carried out by the Aerospace Faculty of the South Ural State University (SUSU) within the framework of the UMNOC.
The creation of ground infrastructure and the organization of rocket engine testing is carried out by Aerocosmos CJSC (General Director O.A. Tretyakov)
During 2022-23, design, construction and commissioning work was carried out on the ground infrastructure necessary for systematic testing and testing of the operating modes of the latest rocket engine with a central body for the reusable rocket of the Korona project (photo of the complex under construction in the gallery below).
As usual, the Americans, with unlimited financial resources, burn rockets, launching them to certain altitudes, the Russians, limited in financial matters, simply and economically practice these same algorithms on a ground-based mechanical complex, which allows daily launches and tests to be carried out without leaving the Earth further than 12 meters!

The first launch and testing of the launch and landing modes of the demonstrator were carried out in mid-July 2023, you can watch a video of the first launch in the gallery.
During August - September, work is underway to debug the rocket engine control system to ensure "soft" launch and landing modes of the test complex fixed to a complex articulated mechanism that limits the lift-off of the complex from the ground by 10-12 meters, which is quite enough to measure and test the control algorithms of the latest rocket engine with a central body.
