advantage

Due to the fact that it is a guided vehicle, Skylark L has an onboard control system and thrust vector control system, as well as a roll control system. During flight, the onboard control system operates guidance algorithms to correct the flight course when any disturbance factors occur. Control of the launch vehicle at the boost phase of launch along pitch and yaw axes is ensured by the deviation of the combustion chamber of the main engine. Control of the launch vehicle at the boost phase of launch along the roll axis and control of the pitch and yaw at the coast stage of launch is ensured by the roll control system.
