Rocket middle class "Soyuz-5", is being developed in Russia to replace the Ukrainian "Zenith". The carrier will be able to put into low orbit up to 17 t payload.
“The rocket is also planned to be used for promising manned programs. Its first launch is scheduled for 2022 the year when it will have to launch the new Russian spacecraft Federation from the Baikonur cosmodrome into near-earth orbit. In the future, it is planned to use the rocket also in the Sea Launch project, ”the publication says.

Specialists have made comments on the draft design that need to be eliminated. In this regard, it was decided to finalize the documentation and not to consider separately the draft design of the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle, and then the ground infrastructure project separately, on the scientific and technical council of Roskosmos. Instead, it was decided to complete the design of the entire space-based missile system as a whole, including the carrier, technical means and facilities necessary for launching, and to submit the finished project with the corrected comments at the end of the third quarter of 2018,
