	Tsyklon
		The name Tsyklon ("cyclone") is relatively recent, appearing for the first time in 1986 when, in the wake of Gorbachev’s Perestroika initiative, the Soviets began promoting their launchers for commercial use in the West.
		Later, the Tsyklon 3 was also used to launch AUOS scientific and Okean-O radar satellites.
		With the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the Ukrainian manufacturer of the Tsyklon, ended up in a different country – an unacceptable situation for a rocket intended for launching national security payloads.

		Tsyklon, sometimes spelled Tsiklon in English, is Russian for Cyclone.
		All Tsyklon space rockets were launched from Baikonur until 1977 when new launch facilities were opened at Plesetsk.
		For most Tsyklon space flights the second stage was modified and made a part of the payload satellite.

	Tsyklon statistics Mark II - Bureau of Information
		When the sensor system is operating in high power mode, the warp field is distorted to such an extent that it actually impacts the performance of the starship's propulsion system.
		This is in part due to the configuration of the TSYKLON class which allows the AUGUR system to directly interact with the warp nacelles.
		With the AUGUR system, the TSYKLON class vessels are quite capable for reconnaisance, exploration, and patrol missions.

	Space Launchers - Tsyklon
		Based on the R36 SS-9 Scarp ICBM, the 2-stage 8K69 was introduced in Sep-1966 as the launcher for the FOBS Fractional Bombardment System and then in 1967 as the Tsyklon 2 11K67 SL-11 as a space launcher (replaced in 1969 by the 11K69).
		Tsyklon 2 has recently been employed for the ocean surveillance program but initially flew in the Fractional Orbit Bombardment System (FOBS) and satellite interceptor programs.
		Tsyklon 3 is the 3-stage version and was first offered as the commercial Tsyklon launcher in Oct-1987.

	Tsyklon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tsyklon (Циклон, "Cyclone", also known as Tsiklon) is a Soviet/Ukrainian-designed expendable launch system, primarily used to put Cosmos and Meteor class satellites into low earth orbit.
		It is based on the R-36 intercontinental ballistic missile designed by Mikhail Yangel and of its more than 100 launches since 1967, there have been only two failures.
		The first flight of the Tsiklon 3, a Tsiklon 2 with a restartable third stage, first flew on June 27, 1977 from Plesetsk.

	No more Tsyklon launches from Plesetsk-Blog-Russian Strategic Nuclear Forces
		The Russian Spacec Agency and the Space Forces found themselves on the defensive regarding the use of launchers that use NDMH as fuel ("dirty" or "stinky" in the old Soviet jargon).
		The end of Tsyklon launches from Plesetsk (and it is unlikely that there will be launches from Baykonur either) will not affect the military space program - the last time the launcher was used to launch a military satellite was...
		When the Space Forces announced the end of Tsyklon launches from Plesetsk, the alleged reason was that these NDMH-fueled launchers are harmful for enviroment.

	Tsyklon 3
		Later in its life Tsyklon 3 was also used for launch of AUOS scientific and Okean-O radar satellites.
		With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Ukrainian manufacturer ended up in a different country, inappropriate for a launcher used for national security payloads.

	Ukraine, Brazil Sign Commercial Space Launch Deal
		Talks were continuing with Italy's Fiat Avio (FIA.MI) and were planned with some U.S. firms to form a joint venture to increase the Tsyklon's fuel and four-ton payload capacity, create a new control system and give it a modernized engine.
		Brazil was preparing a new port and railroad link to get the rocket to the launch site, which itself still needed special launch equipment for the Tsyklon -- a liquid fuel, three-stage rocket based on the Soviet SS-9 two-stage ballistic missile.
		The officials said 12 launches a year were planned over the 10-year span of the agreement.

	[2.0] International Navigation Satellite Systems
		Launch of an initial series of "Tsyklon" experimental satellites began in 1967, with a total of 29 launched into 1978, not counting at least two launch failures.
		The last 13 Tsyklons were operational prototypes, close to production spec, and were also called "Zaliv".
		Both were in the form of a drum covered with solar cells, with a weighted mast on top for gravity-gradient stabilization, and a what appears to have been an antenna hung off one side near the bottom.

	Opinions & Comments - Tsyklon 3 loss is latest failure of a Russian 'long term storage' rocket
		Ukraine's Tsyklon 3 and Russia's Kosmos 3M and Proton K. In recent years, these launchers suffered four failures on domestic Russian missions.
		All of these could actually be linked to the fact that these vehicles, or at least their engines, have been on storage for years.
		This launch failure appears to be yet another example of a faulty rocket which was taken out of 'long term storage' (Tsyklons have been out of production for some years and have a very low flight rate).

		The second option would be a complimentary launch on a NPO Yuzhnoye Tsyklon vehicle arranged by a new U.S. commercial venture trying to market the Tsyklon.
		The Tsyklon was previously proposed commercially by Rockwell International (now Boeing) and a later by Daimler-Benz Aerospace (now Astrium).
		The Tsyklon 4 was planned to be developed under a partnership with FiatAvio but the Italian motorist is now focusing in priority on the development of the Vega small launch vehicle for ESA.

	Tsyklon - Ukraine and Space Transportation Systems
		The Tsyklon family of launch vehicles is derived from Yuzhnoye's R-36 (NATO designator SS-9) ICBM and is used in two primary configurations.
		The two-stage Tsyklon 2 launch vehicle has been launched exclusively from the Baikonur Cosmodrome from Complex 90 left and right for high-value military missions: the co-orbital ASAT, RORSAT, EORSAT, and FOBS (Fractional Orbit Bombardment System).
		Only the EORSAT program is still operational; thus, the launch rate of the Tsyklon-2 is now only a few per year.

		Required modifications to the R-36 were minimal; the IS and US Raketoplan-derived payloads had their own engines for insertion into final orbit.
		The Tsyklon 11K67 first test version was an adaptation of the 8K67 (SS-9 Mod 1) two stage ICBM and flew only briefly (1967 to 1968).
		It was quickly replaced by the definitive 11K69 Tsyklon 2 launch vehicle.

	Tsyklon Launch Vehicle
		In 1986, with advent of Gorbachev's Perestroika, Soviet organization called Glavkosmos created within super-secret Ministry of General Machine Building, or MOM, started promoting Soviet launchers for commercial use in the West.
		The list of available vehicles included a new name - Cyclone (spelling widely accepted in the western technical literature is Tsyklon; name once painted by the Russians on the body of the actual rocket spelled "Ciklon"!) It wasn't a newcomer though.
		Since the mid-60's the rocket was known to the the West as F-1-r FOBS (Fractional Orbit Bombardment System).

	Forma Tournament: SFUK Mixed Martial Art event report
		Glasgow Dynamo and Tsyklon Sambo from Portsmouth battled it out for Bronze position, treating the crowd to a fine display of Sambo wrestling, but it was the Academy Team and Phoenix Sambo A that went to the finals.
		It was also pleasing to note two women’s team had entered the event, Urmston Judo Club and a mixture between Glasgow Dynamo and Tsyklon Sambo.
		The women were just as aggressive as the men, Urmston Judo Club taking the gold, with heavyweight Sharon Mills submitting her opponent with a classic juji gatame combination attack.

		This is paid for by a lack of range, cramped crew compartments which do not even afford all personnel with their own bunks, and virtually non-existant scientic research equipment.
		At just over half the mass of the Feynman class, the Tsyklon class offers a far more cost efficient light, mobile sensor platform.
		While not the equal of its larger cousin as an exploration vessel, the Tsyklon incorporates most of the major advantages of the larger Feynman in a much more efficient vessel.
