http://www.century-of-flight.net/Aviatio... ...Energia (the Russian word for “Energy”) can lay claim as the founding organization of the Soviet space program. The company traces its history back to May 1946, when the Soviet government set up a small department in the design section of a new institute named NII-88 (or “Scientific-Research Institute No. 88)... see also Sergey Korolyov aka Sergei Korolev (1950 -1960) at http://nicohistory.webnode.com/a1950-1... "...The Soviet Space Program was basically headed by Sergey Korolyov and german rocket scientist Helmut Gröttrup [sic: grandfather of the smart card/chip card!], former assistant of Wernher von Braun..." - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

http://www.century-of-flight.net/Aviatio... "...By the early 1950s, Korolev's team had been restructured into a large design organization known as OKB-1 (or “Experimental Design Bureau No. 1”), which in 1956 separated from the NII-88 institute.... In 1974, OKB-1 merged with a rocket engine design team to form the giant Energia conglomerate. From 1974 to 1989, Energia was headed by Valentin Glushko, the Soviet chief designer for rocket engines... ...Since 1989, Energia has been headed by Yuri Semenov. Through the 1990s, Semenov sustained operations to "MIR" that culminated in a series of historic joint flights with the U.S. Space Shuttle. Mir was eventually abandoned in 2001 when the International Space Station (ISS) came on line... - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

As roughly mentioned here on friendfeed, interestingly in 1993, U.S. Space Defense contractor Lockheed, russian Khrunichev Research and Production Space Center (KRPSC) and RSC Energia signed the "Joint Venture Agreement", creating a joint business enterprise registered in the State of Delaware (USA) as the Joint Stock Company Lockheed Khrunichev Energia International, Inc (LKEI). http://www.energia.ru/eng... http://www.spaceref.com/news... In 1995 Lockheed merged with Martin Marietta creating the Lockheed Martin Corp. In the same year, Lockheed Martin and LKEI set up on a parity basis a Russian-American Company under the name of International Launch Services, Inc. Obviously the so called 'cold war' didn't make any sense already any longer, but things between both "countries" went even more bizarre over the next decade: - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... "...In September 2006 Lockheed-Martin announced its intention to sell its ownership interests in Lockheed Khrunichev Energia International, Inc. (LKEI) and ILS International Launch Services, Inc. (ILS) to Space Transport Inc...." [http://www.comspacewatch.com/news... ] Now according to Wikipedia, ILS Inc. was formed by someone named Mario Lemme, while Space Transport Corp was apparently based in Forks, Washington, founded in 2002 by Eric Meier and Philip Storm. - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

However, the Space Transport Corp company seems to not exist anymore and temporarily was also listed in British Virgin Islands. Apparently in May 2008 Khrunichev Research and Production Space Center (KRPSC) acquired the entire Space Transport, Inc. block of shares in ILS. Then earlier this year, on February 21, 2009, RSC Energia released a press release, pointing out that S.P.Korolev RSC Energia, no longer is "taking an active part in ILS International Launch Services, Inc." http://www.spaceref.com/news... http://www.energia.ru/eng... This would mean, that "Khrunichev Research" is the one and only 'operator' or owner of the International Launch Services, which also has a joint venture with Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

But the illogical contradiction isn't resolved yet. Wikipedia still states that ILS International Launch Services, Inc. has it seats in the United States [Mclean, Virginia] which doesn't make sense http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... The website of ILS makes it more clear: "...The majority shareholder is Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center of Moscow...." http://www.ilslaunch.com/about-u... A quick view on the website of Khrunichev Research and Production Space Center (KRPSC) http://www.khrunichev.ru/main... , makes it clear who's running the strings. It is *NOT* the United States, clearly not, no matter, what conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones or some european puppet president, Obama Barrack, might tell you. The complete Operation USA was sold out earlier this year, with the help of Aspen Strategy Team and others... - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

Electronic Space Defense Industry, clearly the biggest profiteers of 9/11, are mostly operated from Baikonur, Kazachstan Cosmodrome and/or in cooperation with Khrunichev Space Center. And their companies and projects come mostly from Europe: The Eutelsat W7 spacecraft, provided by Thales Alenia Space (UK) http://www.khrunichev.ru/main... ; ESA’s Earth exploring spacecraft SMOS http://www.khrunichev.ru/main... ; the GOCE earth observation satellite built by Thales Alenia Space (UK) http://www.khrunichev.ru/main... ; the russian owned The Angara rocket family project http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... plus the provider role for the technology for the Korean Space Launch Vehicle 1 (KSLV-1) http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www... ; the Intelsat 16 satellite on an ILS Proton, is actually built by american Orbital Sciences. http://www.khrunichev.ru/main... - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

However we know, that Orbital [also behind google's GeoEye http://ff.im/32ZWX] is already strongly connected to the "Ukrainian Yuzhnoye Design Bureau", yet another Ukrainian company called "A.M. Makarov Yuzhny Machine-Building Plant", or "PA Yuzhmash" and *again* Thales Alenia Space [which is partly british, french and italian, with more seats in Spain and Belgium]. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... And since Orbital's other partner Lockheed Martin is basically 'owned' by China, the american reference seems to be very vague. There is only Alliant Techsystems (ATK). [which also has an 'Obama Cabinet Plant' pulled as the head of the NASA: Charles F. Bolden, Jr. http://ff.im/8873G (Free Electron Laser Paper 1994 !)], a former spun off from Honeywell - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

There is only one conclusion: Thales Alenia Space somehow is the main sponsor of Khrunichev. As part of the Thales Group, this makes it still an european company and the world's leader in satellite systems, officially coming from Thales (67%) and italian Finmeccanica (33%) [also running the DC Metro Trains, which recently got involved in some deadly accident http://ff.im/4vKUw] . Thales Alenia is also running the KazSat Satellite program from Kazachstan and recently won a huge contract with the APT Satellite Company Limited http://www.satnews.com/cgi-bin..., a leading satellite operator in the Asia Pacific Region. http://www.thalesgroup.com/Press_R... Officially APT is represented by China Telecommunications Broadcast Satellite Corporation, China Aerospace Science & Technology Corporation and related. http://www.apstar.com/apt_com... No matter what U.S. Economics or -conspiracy theorists write: 9/11 couldn't have been logically an 'inside job', neither the recession makes sense. It is an artificial product, arranged by the same perps, who really produced and sponsored 9/11. Next: Quantum-, High Frequency or Robo Trading http://ff.im/6NBi5 and Anti Matter experiments [with absurde ties to Al Quaida http://ff.im/9U5aZ ], where noone knows, how the endgame might really look like. The Russian-Chinese version of dystopian Bionic Fascism, with electronic know-how from Europe, anyone? ; [see more at http://nicohistory.webnode.com/ and 9/11 "EuroSpace Outside Job" by ewing2001 http://tinyurl.com/eurospa... ] - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010

UPDATE: The contract between Thales Alenia Space and APT Satellite Ltd. on APSTAR 7 is repromoted in China Daily NEWS [SATNews wrote about this already on October 1st http://www.satnews.com/cgi-bin... but apparently the contract was signed today on Sunday, November 8th, 2009] http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china... "...China will launch a French-made communications satellite for the Hong Kong-based APT Satellite Holding Limited in the first half of 2012. A contract for the launch service was signed here Sunday. The satellite, dubbed APTSTAR-7 and made by the Thales Alenia Space...according to a statement issued by the China Great Wall Industry Corporation (CGWIC) ..." [CGWIC was officially established in July 1999 ] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - In some bizarre twist, though sanctioned twice by the U.S. Chinese for missile-related sales to Pakistan, CGWIC had **direct links** to U.S. Satellite Business. In May 1998, they launched the Motorola Iridium mobile communications satellites [which partnered with the BinLadin Group] from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi Province. More bizarre, almost ***noone worldwide*** gives a fart, that the current head of U.S. Intelligence, Dennis C Blair [DNO], is a former CEO of Iridium/Bin Ladin. ermm, yes this 'crazy german' here *does care* about this *here ; http://www.nti.org/db... ; http://www.cgwic.com/; http://www.cgwic.com/In-Orbi...
