This began with Energia’s kerolox strap-on booster. That was a Ukrainian design….with an upper stage—it launched a spy sat fashioned after a Vostok hull….which is still made. That LV was known for that sat….Zenit.

The engine was the four-nozzle RD-170…an F-1 class engine. The all Russian Sunkar/Soyuz 5 is the new Zenit but fatter.

Cut in in half….you get the Atlas 5 RD-180…half strength. Even weaker is the RD-191.

That’s what Angara uses.

Instead of HLLVs, they figured use the EELV Rube Goldberg assembly model of launching a lot of weaker rockets like this.

Seeing that even Musk loves HLLVs, does the EELV approach look good to you now?

If so…Angara is your rocket. Enjoy.

This is Russia’s EELV

This sounds like a coordinated exercise.
Would it surprise you?
