It looks like an ambitious mess.


Brazil would have been better off developing an indigenous kick stage for the Cyclone 4, to replace the 40 year old design of the Ukrainian 3rd stage, thereby increasing performance and reducing pollution from the toxic fuel of the 3rd stage.

I have the National Space Plan 2012-2020. It's a lot more realistic than before, and has more humble objectives.Since it's a 40MB PDF, I can't upload it, but you can download it from the AEB site.
I've also have the presentation about the L75 Kerosene/LOX engine. It's a GG 75kN Kerosene/LOX upper stage engine with 324s of isp. The presentation is amazing. I'm surprised their laws allowed so much information to be released to the public. Apparently, it's actually based of the RD-0109, that's where the Russians appear as partners in the Estrella do Sul project.

For those who don't follow these things, the RD-0109 engine was used as the upper stage of the Vostok rocket which launched Yuri Gagarin. AFAIK, it has not been used for space launch in almost 30 years.

However, a development of that engine would make a wonderful kick stage for the Cyclone rocket, since the engine uses kerosine/oxygen, rather than toxic propellants.

Brazil tested the new 'Torre Móvel de Integração' (TMI) - Integration Movable Towel, with a VLS-1 mock-up.
Do you mean to say tower and not towel?

Always know where your tower is!  ;)

According to the HHGTTG, you can use a towel for anything.

One wonder if the upcoming Fifa world cup 2014 and the 2016 summer Olympics games will impact the funding level of the Brazilian space programs from 2013 to 2016?

They haven't been able to even implement a G4 network for the Fifa World Cup, and all the stadiums are behind schedule. Corruption was so rampant that even the president of the Brazilian Football Federation had to resign. Something unheard of.
Of course my country is worse in that regard. But I don't think technology development is a driver for Dilma.

I kinda wish Brazil would learn "NOT" to use the Cyclone with it's toxic fuels.  Look at the Proton mess.

Time is still available to switch to the other Ukraine design.  It would be best for both partners.
