1992 During the Year - -
 Work on military Spektr version cancelled Nation: Russia. Spacecraft: Spektr - Original, Spektr, Mir. The original Spektr design was to be armed with Oktava interceptor rockets and equipped with sensors to identify and track ballistic missile re-entry vehicles as well as discriminate decoys. In 1992, as directed by the Soviet Union's military and political leadership, all work on such projects was discontinued. The Spektr module was mothballed, then later converted into a civilian platform, partially funded by the United States.
1992 During the Year - Launch Vehicle: Burlak. - Burlak air-launched satellite launcher was proposed Nation: Russia. The design was studied by Germany in 1992-1994. Development estimated to cost only DM 50 million, but not proceeded with.
