- Major competitors of the Corporation in space industry
Corporation standing in the industryPeriod of the Corporation operation in space industryRSC Energia has been engaged in rocket and space activities since 1946, the date of establishing the team of long-range ballistic missile developers headed by S.P. Korolev, the General Designer of rocket and space systems, the founder of practical cosmonautics. The enterprise became the pioneer in virtually all the fields of our country’s rocket and space technology. RSC Energia is the legal successor to Special Design Bureau-1 (OKB-1), Central Design Bureau of Experimental Machinebuilding (Ts KBEM) and Scientific – Production Association (NPO) Energia after academician S.P. Korolev. The Corporation was established by the Russian Federation President’s Decree No. 237 dated February 4, 1994 “On the Procedure for Privatizing Scientific and Production Association Energia named after S.P. Korolev” and on the basis of the Russian Federation Government Resolution No. 415 dated April 29, 1994 “On Establishing S.P. Korolev Rocket and Space Corporation Energia”. Major competitors of the Corporation in space industryOn the world market of manned space flights the Corporation provides services to deliver US astronauts to and return them from the ISS. The number of cosmonauts and astronauts delivered and returned annually by transport manned space vehicles Soyuz is 12. At the present time, RSC Energia is the monopolist on this market, however, starting from 2018 US companies Boeing (space vehicle CST-100) and Space X (space vehicle DragonV2) may become major competitors of the Corporation. Lockheed Martin (MPCV/Orion spacecraft) and Sierra Nevada Corporation (Dream Chaser space vehicle) are also engaged in the development of manned space vehicles. Transport manned space vehicles currently under development in the US
China is not involved in the ISS program, therefore the Shenzhou manned spacecraft cannot be considered as a competitor of Soyuz. By now, there have been 10 Shenzhou missions out of which five were performed in unmanned mode and five in manned mode. Main data on Soyuz and Shenzhou spacecraft
The world market segment for cargo delivery to ISS and return to Earth is not monopolized by the Corporation. Payloads are delivered to the ISS by Russian cargo spacecraft Progress, Japanese cargo spacecraft HTV, as well as by commercial US cargo spacecraft under contracts with NASA, Dragon (made by SpaceX) and Cygnus (made by Orbital Sciences Corporation). Foreign- made cargo spacecraft
The SpaceX is the leader in the world market segment dealing with return of payloads from the ISS. Within the framework of 5 nominal missions of the Dragon spacecraft to the ISS, the total of 5.9 metric tons of payloads were returned. Transport manned spacecraft Progress offers no capability to return payloads to Earth. Every year about 200 kg of payloads are returned onboard four Soyuz spacecraft. In order to return larger amounts of cargoes, there are plans to use the unmanned spacecraft Soyuz-GVK (up to 500 kg in each vehicle). There is growing competition in the field of development and production of unmanned spacecraft between Russian and foreign companies. Orbital Science Corporation, Space Systems/Loral, Airbus Defence and Space, and Thales Alenia Space are the major competitors of the Corporation for commercial contracts in the world market. In the domestic market the Corporation competes with OAO Reshetnev Information Satellite Systems in the communications satellite segment, and with AO RKTs Progress in the segment of Earth remote sensing satellites. Yamal-202 communications satellite made by the Corporation has been successfully operating in orbit since 2003. In April 2014, there was a successful launch of an optoelectronic observation spacecraft built by the Corporation for a foreign customer. In order to expand its presence in the unmanned spacecraft market, the Corporation conducts work to develop high-orbital observation satellites, as well as furthers cooperation with Airbus Defence and Space to develop highly efficient and competitive new-generation spacecraft. As for the launch vehicles, the Corporation builds upper stages of the Block DM family which are used for launches into high-elliptical orbits under government and commercial programs. In the domestic launch services market, the major competitors of the Corporation are Khrunichev State Research and Production Center (upper stage Briz-KM) and FSUE Research and Production Association named after S.A. Lavochkin (upper stage Fregat-SB). To improve competitiveness, the Corporation is developing a new generation of upper stages of the Block DM family with a highly efficient main engine with 5-ton thrust. On the world market of launch services, the Corporation is the main participant in the Sea Launch joint venture. Major competitors in this market are Arianespace, SpaceХ, ILS and ULA.
Corporation share in respective market segment in terms of its core business and dynamics of this indicator over the last 3 yearsThe Corporation is the only manufacturer of manned spacecraft which deliver crews to the International Space Station (ISS) and bring them back to Earth. After the retirement of Space Shuttle, the ISS crews are only transported by Soyuz spacecraft. Share of launches of RSC Energia spacecraft under the ISS Program 
2012, 2013, 2014 Soyuz 4 launches annually Total 12 launches As for the ISS logistics support, the Corporation is loosing its leading position in the market. In 2014 44% of launches of cargo spacecraft to the ISS were made by USA (2 Dragon spacecraft and 2 Cygnus spacecraft), 12% were made by ESA (1 ATV spacecraft). In the field of cargo return from the ISS, after the cargo-return capable spacecraft Dragon was put into operation, Russian spacecraft Soyuz lost their leading positions in this segment of the market.
