The Soyuz

Since the start of the Space Age, the Soyuz has been launched more times than any other launch vehicle in the world. Derived from the Soviet Vostok rocket, it was first introduced in 1966 and has gone on to make over 1700 launches. With one of the lowest launch failure rates, the Soyuz is truely an understated workhorse of the rocket world. As of today, the Soyuz is the only way for astronauts to get to the International Space Station.

  • A 3rd stage rocket with removable jettison panels
  • Detachable fairings with deployable guide fins
