Description

The Soyuz-5 is a medium-class carrier rocket with a launch weight of about 530-ton and a 17-ton payload designed as the replacement for the Soyuz-2 rocket. The new space rocket will be powered by more eco-friendly fuel engines provided by Progress based upon liquefied natural gas. The Soyuz-5 flexibility will allow it to turn into a heavy-class rocket adding side blocks. The Soyuz-5 is not intended as a contender for the Angara rocket family which is under development within Russia as well. The Soyuz-5 draft design is slated for completion by the end of 2015 and first launch is scheduled for late 2023. In August 2023, the first launch was delayed to December 24, 2025. In October 2024, it was delayed to 2026. The first flight was completed on April 30, 2026.
