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.
Brazil tested the new 'Torre Móvel de Integração' (TMI) - Integration Movable Towel, with a VLS-1 mock-up.

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