Energy carrier rocket

It is a Soviet rocket designed by the Energy Research and Production Consortium. As a heavy-duty single-use delivery system and as a booster for the Blizzard Space Shuttle, the launch latitude is 46 degrees north latitude, the energy number of low-Earth orbit transportation capacity is 105 tons of cargo, and the geostationary orbit transportation capacity is 20 tons. The codename of this rocket is "SL-17".

It is a completely new design structure, high thrust, long life launch vehicle, these characteristics make it at least the same as the most used Soyuz launch vehicle (A4) to expand its performance. The performance improvement of the energy number is manifested in the ability to send a load of 100 tons into low-Earth orbit. This is equivalent to about one-third of the weight of the payload currently put into low-Earth orbit by the Soviet Union every year. The carrying capacity of an Energy Launch Vehicle in low-Earth orbit is equal to the carrying capacity of five Protons SL-13 or 15 Soyuz A4. However, it should not be assumed that such a number can be used to indicate
