Update on the future of the MLS Canso Spaceport from the new head of the Ukrainian Space Agency. "There are two factors. The first is a misunderstanding of why we need the space industry. Ukrainian society does not yet realize that space is no longer an arms race; this is what today gives a real impetus to the development of the economy. The second aspect is our own negative experience in creating the Cyclone-4 launch vehicle. A project has been going on for 15 years. And ju...st recently, I signed the last additional agreement, so that at the end of the year we will be handed over the first flight model. Moreover, it is absolutely clear that it will not fly anywhere: we do not have a spaceport from which it can be launched. Our spaceport in Brazil did not take place. In addition, the rocket we made is based on heptyl-amyl fuel cells, which today, in the 21st century, are no longer used for the first stages. No country will allow us to launch this. Therefore, we spent a billion dollars: we have neither a spaceport, nor a rocket..... What can we do now? We have developments of the propulsion system (861st engine - LB.ua) for the third stage of the rocket. The engine itself, however, is based on heptyl and amyl, but for the upper feet, for space, it is suitable, since in the atmosphere these substances are too toxic. We want to use this as our asset for future projects. There are a lot of options on the cosmodrome market today. In addition to the Brazilian site, there is a second option - the Canadian project of the American private company MLS. It uses the project of the Ukrainian Cyclone-4M rocket. This is an improved version of Cyclone-4, which is being built under the Canadian space harbor. Here, by the way, we can use the third stage I have already mentioned from Cyclone 4 with an exhaust 861 engine. The Canadian side has already received primary permits for the construction of a spaceport. They have a pool of investors, which is now just in the process of choosing a pilot rocket project. The platform itself should be multi-tasking: built for the launch of light, medium, heavy rocket launchers. Initially, Cyclone-4M was considered as the main option for the first launch, but there was a problem with the recapitalization of the project. While there is no full amount, Canadians do not order a rocket from us." Seems MLS is not only not telling the locals the truth they are lying to the Ukrainians about their 'pool of investors'. In short - no rockets and no spaceport means we are safe for now from the substances too toxic for earth uses ...

Lot of disinformation being spread recently by Maritime Launch Systems on their origin and connections in Ukraine. The man who started it all is very clear. "Isella, who moved to Dnipro and bought a flat in the city, also represents the Yuzhnoye Design Office in the United States and is CEO of Maritime Launch Services, MLS, created specifically to operate the Cyclone-4M rockets in Canada." Wish some journalists would do some basic research instead of regurgitating corporate press releases. https://aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/ukraine-vies-for-place-i/
