Technically Ionic Symphonic Protonic Electronics, but yeah

I think Ionic has the best corporation name, tied with Probodobodyne

Probodobodyne = Cyberdyne Systems (Terminator 2)

I believe it's based on Rocketdyne rather than Cyberdyne

Ahhhh but I liked the idea that my probes would become self aware after being abandoned on distant bodies for many ingame years, then decide to return to kerbin and liberate their enslaved comrades!!

Rockomax Conglomerate = Rockwell International.

"Rockwell International was a major American manufacturing conglomerate in the latter half of the 20th century, involved in aircraft, the space industry etc." - Wikipedia

The companies that built the Apollo CM/SM and the Space Shuttle orbiters were all part of Rockwell International.

Strut-Co = GEIKO, at least in spirit

I find the lack of NPO Energomash disturbing.
