Association has accumulated huge experience in field of spacecraft propulsion systems creation such as "Luna"(Moon), "Venera" (Venus), "Mars", "Vega", "Phobos" series and also upper stage boosters (USB) "L" (4th stage of "Molniya") and "Fregat" (4th stage of "Souz"). Nowadays is an independent enterprise and carries out its own space technology development program. Taking into account requirements of small dimensional payloads space transportation, Babakin Space Center now is developing series of upper stage boosters of conversional launch vehicles (LV) for low-cost missions. These are "Shmel" for "Volna" LV, "Shmel-2" for "Strela" LV, "Varyag" for "Dnepr" LV, and further "Kaplya" for "Shtil" LV. possibility of payload launch to Solar Synchronous Orbit is under consideration too. `Volna" LV is very attractive from point of view scientific experiments and technology demonstration carrying out. interplanetary. The structure of USB "Varyag" for "Dnepr" LV keeps maximal succession from "Phobos" propulsion system and has two propellant tank modules with jettissonable lower one. "Dnepr" LV is capable to launch up to 500 kg to Geostationary Earth Orbit and up-to 800 kg to escape trajectory.
