UR-500 ICBM
|
UR-500 ICBM version - cutaway drawing showing arrangement of N2O4 oxidiser tanks (green) and UDMH fuel tanks (orange). The UR-500 was designed so that its components could be rail-transported and field assembled in silos. Even Khrushchev considered the monster missile and its 100 MT warhead unaffordable - after he was deposed, the ICBM project was cancelled. The original third stage configuration with toroidal tanks was never flown.

Proton 8K82
|
Proton 8K82 as flown in the first four Proton launches. This version had the shorter second stage of the GR-2 ICBM version, but lacked the cancelled UR-500 third stage. Payload with just two stages was hardly better than the much smaller Soyuz 11A511 launch vehicle.

UR-500 First Concept
|
Drawing of the original design concept for the UR-500 heavy ICBM/space launcher. This consisted of a cluster of four UR-200 ICBM's, with a modified UR-200 second stage as the final stage. Dynamic tests were conducted of a model of this configuration, but it was abandoned by Chelomei due to poor payload performance.
