The Angara family includes different types of launchers ranging from the lightweight to the heavy class.
The performance and operational pr operties of these launch vehicles make them competitive with top world space-industry brands.
The high degree of modularity combined with the advanced manufacturing pr ocesses used would ensure the cost of payload injection to a wide range of orbits to be low if compared to similar launchers in the world.
The launch base to be used by the Angara family is Plesetsk , Russia . The unique design solutions employed would allow any member of the Angara family to be launched from the same pad.

Description
The Angara space launch complex is being pursued in accordance with Presidential Decree (1995), On the Development of Angara Space Launch Complex that endorsed pr oposals to this effect from the MoD, Russian Space Agency and State Committee for Defense Industries.
As part of the Angara pr ogram, Khrunichev is implementing a strategy of expeditious development of a common core booster powered by LOX/kerosene engines to serve as the basis for a number of advanced environment-friendly launchers of small-, medium- and heavy-lift classes.
Underpinning the Angara pr oject is the idea to secure Russia 's assured access to space from the Russian launch base at Plesetsk and guarantee that Russia will be able to engage in space activities regardless of any trends in military-political and economic relations with other countries.
The LOX/kerosene common core booster (CCB) is a wholesome structure that includes an oxidizer tank, a fuel tank (both tanks being coupled by a spacer) and a pr opulsion bay.
Each CCB is fit with one RD 191 high-power liquid engine.
This engine is being developed on the basis of (1) the four-chamber engine used earlier by the Energia launch vehicle and (2) the RD 170/171 engine still in operation on the Zenith LV.
One CCB is used by both the Angara 1.1 and the Angara 1.2 lightweight launch vehicles while five CCBs are integrated in 5A, a heavy launch vehicle.
Angara 1.2 will use Breeze-KM as its upper stage. (This upper stage has been successfully tested in combination with Rockot, a conversion- pr ogram launcher.).
Angara A5 will use Breeze-M or KVTK as its upper stage. |

The Angara family is a new generation of launchers now under development at KhSC on the basis of a common core booster (CCB) using oxygen/kerosene engines. The design of this module takes account of the manufacturing hardware and tooling available at, and the state-of-the-art processes well mastered by, KhSC.
