  Zenit rocket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zenit was built in the 1980s for two purposes: as a Liquid Rocket Booster for the Energia rocket and, equipped with a second stage, as a stand-alone rocket.
Zenits are launched from Russia's Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and by the Sea Launch consortium's floating launch platform in the Pacific Ocean.
Since the Zenit is not built in Russia, it is planned to be replaced in that service by the new and yet unflown Angara rocket, although Russia does still use the Zenit.

For the second time in four months, the Russians are probing the explosion of a Proton rocket -- the same large launcher that is to loft the much-delayed first crew module for the U.S.-led international space station.
While the investigation unfolds, neighboring Kazakhstan closed the Baikonur Cosmodrome, the space port it leases to the Russians for the Proton and Soyuz rocket operations that are vital to the station's assembly and resupply.
Russia successfully returned the Proton to flight on Sept. 6.

Since the earliest days of rocket development, Russia has been working on propulsion systems that could ensure that payloads are placed into highly accurate trajectories.
Russia is traditionally strong in the design of liquid-propellant rocket engines.
The latter is a peroxide-fuelled liquid-propellant rocket engine intended to prove feasibility of a relatively simple small-size recoverable motor to be fuelled by non-toxic, environment-friendly propellants, that could provide for essentially unlimited duration of space operation.

 Russian 'Rocket' Torpedo Arms Chinese Subs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Russia has developed new submarine-launched torpedos that travel at incredible speeds – perhaps as fast as the speed of sound underwater.
According to Scientific American, the new generation of torpedos, some believed capabale of carrying nuclear warheads, are surrounded by a "renewable envelope of gas so that the liquid wets very little of the body's surface, thereby drastically reducing the viscous drag" on the torpedo.
The Shkval rocket first came to light in the Western press in April 2000 when Russian FSB security services charged American businessman Edward Pope with spying for the U.S. According to Russian intelligence sources, Pope obtained detailed information on the rocket-powered torpedo.

Hyperactive tempos and subject matter that was fun, but not utterly mindless, were new to me under the guise of rock and roll.
To the uninitiated, the songs on Rocket to Russia, and of the Ramones in general, might seem repetitive and uninteresting, due to an oft-used song structure and dynamic, and the band's lack of technical proficiency.
Rocket to Russia won't do much to dissuade these people, but tracks like "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow", "I Don't Care" and "I Wanna Be Well" are interesting and different bookends to three or four song sets of standard Ramones fare.

 Does Russia Need Strategic Rocket Forces?
As it was mentioned in these programs, the General Staff plans to reduce the number of deployed missiles of the SRF to 150, and the quantity of the SRF divisions - from 19 to 2.
Historically the Soviet Union and then Russia relied mainly on the land based component (the SRF) in the development of its strategic nuclear forces (SNF), whereas USA paid most attention to sea and air components of their SNF.
As it is known, the prospects of the Russian SNF are determined by the acting agreements between Russia (the USSR) and the U.S. (START Treaties), the Federal law "On Financing the State Defense Order for the Strategic Nuclear Forces of the Russian Federation" and decrees of the Russian President.
