Thirty years after having been the Soviet rival of NASA's Saturn launchers, with the creation of ILS, the Proton became the ally of the Atlas, once the US rival to Korolev's Semyorka launchers. Since the creation of ILS, Charles H. Lloyd had remained in charge of Russian activities as the president of ILS's Proton Division in the continuity of his position as the CEO of LKEI. With a mix of electrical and chemical propulsion, Astra‐2A could take full benefit from the high‐perigee injection provided by the Proton but inaccessible to Ariane‐4. During the 1997 Paris Air Show, that is, 2 years after the creation of the commercial alliance of the Proton and the Atlas, he was proud to announce that one of the goals set in 1995 had been achieved: the US‐Russian alliance was keeping pace with Arianespace, the market leader for 10 years.
