The Angara family includes four types of launchers ranging from the lightweight to the heavy class.
The Angara family is a new generation of launchers now under development at KhSC on the basis of a common core booster (CCB) using oxygen/kerosene engines. The design of this module takes account of the manufacturing hardware and tooling available at, and the state-of-the-art processes well mastered by, KhSC.
The performance and operational properties of these launch vehicles make them competitive with top world space-industry brands.
The high degree of modularity combined with the advanced manufacturing processes used would ensure the cost of payload injection to a wide range of orbits to be low if compared to similar launchers in the world.
The launch base to be used by the Angara family is Plesetsk, Russia. The unique design solutions employed would allow any member of the Angara family to be launched from the same pad.
