  Angara rocket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Angara rocket, currently in development, is designed to launch heavy payloads into orbit, reducing Russia's dependency on Kazakhstan for heavy lift (from whom Russia leases the Baikonur Cosmodrome), as well as eliminate the need to purchase Zenit rockets from Ukraine.
The Angara will allow Russia to place heavy objects in orbit independently, while still maintaining the ability to launch payloads equivalent to the Proton rocket, the heavy lift workhorse of the Soviet Union and now Russia.
The Angara family of rockets is designed to be modular, similar to the US It features multiple configurations with payloads to LEO ranging from 2,000 to 24,500 kilograms.
