The Black Sea could be used as safe space for launchings. It is analyzed the case of using the existing launch system of Orbital Corporation and a new, similar system with different carrier aircraft and different rocket. The dynamics of the single stage rocket on the ascending trajectory to low orbit (SSTO) together with the calculation of main dimensions and masses is analyzed. The obtained performances show that the Black Sea has enough space to ensure the frame for optimum launching of satellites from West to East. The rotation of Earth at the latitude of Black Sea ensures the satellization velocity at 7.6 km/s instead of 7.9.
