Russian orbital launch vehicle. Version of R-7 launch vehicle with Vostok second stage and unknown third stage used only twice to launch prototype RORSATs. These satellites were originally to have been launched on the cancelled UR-200 launcher, and operational satellites used Tsyklon-2 launchers.
LEO Payload: 4,500 kg (9,900 lb) to a 200 km orbit at 65.00 degrees.
