With a maximum lift-off weight of 773-ton the Angara A5 can put into low-Earth orbit payloads of up to 24,500 kg. Besides, the Breeze M or KVRB can lift payloads of up to 7,300 kg (or 5,400 kg) to a geo-transfer orbit at 5,500 km of altitude and 25-degree of inclination or place directly payloads of up to 4,500 kg (or 2,900 kg) into geostationary orbit. The Breeze M upper stage has a diameter of 4.35 meters and 11.6 or 15.25 meters in length. The Breeze M is also available in a larger version with 5.1 meters diameter and16.37 meters in length. The KVRB has a diameter of 5.1 meters and 19.65 meters in length. The first launch was carried out in December 2014 and the second in December 2020.
