Angara A5 is a space transport, rocket-engine vehicle, which is used to launch spacecraft and satellites into orbit. It is a three-stage, heavy-lift rocket that was developed between 2014 and 2018 by the Moscow-based Krunichev State Research and Production Space Center. The first and second stage rockets are the most powerful ones that lift the vehicle off the Earth, while the third stage engine boosts it into space. The payload is located in the upper portion (in the head of vehicle.
The technical infrastructure for the launch of Angara A5 transport vehicles has been under construction since 2018, led by Russian engineers. The researchers have conducted several tests, employing an electric refueling model. This series of rocket-engine vehicles will be made domestically using local technology. The rocket is launched from the Vostochny Cosmodron in the Amur region.
The Angara A5 uses an universal model, which is composed of a fuel tank, an oxidizer tank, and the engine comparments. Stage 1 consists of four URM-1 side modules, with four RD-191 engines; stage 2 comprises one URM-1 module, with only one RD-191 engine; and stage 3 is composed of one URM-1 module, boosted by one RD-0124A rocket.
