The Russian Khrunichev, German Daimler-Benz Aerospace (DASA) joint venture, Eurorokot, formed to market commercially the former SS-19 military missile, the Rokot, for launches of 1,800kg payloads to low-Earth orbit (LEO), has been delayed for at least a year because of a lack of Russian funds. DASA is also studying the possibility of launching the Ukrainian Tsyklon booster from Kourou, French Guiana, for LEO missions.
