Scientific paper

Possible next-generation Soviet launch vehicles are discussed. The first of three possibilities is uprating the Proton D-class rockets with a new liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen upper stage to replace the two upper stages on the current D-l-H vehicle. The D-2 could place 30 tons into orbit, or possibly a mini-shuttle (Kosmolyot). Another possibility is the giant booster, the G-1, capable of placing about 150 tons into LEO, using a second stage similar to the one on the Saturn V. Finally, the J version of the SS-18 is considered a vehicle for predominantly military payloads. One notable package would be a two-stage antisatellite satellite with an eccentric orbit reaching into GEO to attack U.S. early warning system satellites.
