The Ukrainian Yuzhmash rocket and missile factory (together with the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau) is among the world's leading rocket and satellite manufacturers. The key player in the most sophisticated project of the space launch industry, SeaLaunch, and developer of the world's most reliable launch vehicle, CYCLONE-3, Yuzhmash's rich heritage also includes the most advanced Soviet ballistic missiles: the SS-24 Scalpel, SS-18 Satan, SS-17 Spanker, SS-9 Scarp, SS-4 Sandal (which the USSR planned to deploy to Cuba in 1961), and the DNEPR-1 launch vehicle. The list of satellites developed by Yuzhmash includes Warsaw Pact Intercosmos research satellites, electromagnetically-pure AUOS, ocean radar Earth observation, elint, and many others. Together, Yuzhmash and Yuzhnoye have built and launched over 450 satellites and have 876 launches of rockets and missiles on record, and counting.
Yuzhmash is the only rocket factory in the world to export rocket stages to the USA. The 1st stage of the International Space Station resupply launch vehicle, Antares, is manufactured by Yuzhmash; the top 4th stage of the European Vega-C launch vehicle is also developed and manufactured by Yuzhmash.
Additionally, Yuzhmash has strong branch industries in the fields of metallurgy, assembling, testing, welding, casting, forging, and machining. They have mastered and implemented numerous unique technological solutions and are a full-cycle vertically integrated company.
CosmoVision (Canada) Ltd. Formerly AZ Global Research and Engineering Ltd., CosmoVision (Canada) Ltd. is a consulting and software development company that specialises in the development of software for SCADA, control, modelling, monitoring, and mixed applications. We have been in business since 2003 and our system design technology, M2C (Modeling, Monitoring and Control), has been successfully implemented in several commercial applications. M2C technology is based on the experience our team has accumulated over many years of developing control systems for space launch operations and related areas of software engineering.
This technology is implemented in the company’s own Visual Control, Monitoring and Simulation Environment (VisCMSE) design environment. VisCMSE is a universal design environment that has already been used to design data fusion applications for Earth Observation and Space Port operations. Additional applications of VisCMSE include the design of system integration software for Distributed Control Systems (including power generation), Process Control Automation, Environmental Monitoring, Disaster Management, among myriad others. VisCMSE will be used for the creation of the SCADA system for the East Arnhem Land launch site.
