Full stop. Yes and it's very funny considering that Rogozin said recently that Russia needs to switch from rocket launch business to satellite manufacturing business.

insert_name Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 this makes russia's satellite building plans even more suspect. Was it in a transfer orbit or did they manage to get to GSO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hydrolox VTVL SSTO, so...no. If it was, say, a tripropellant aerospike SSTO, then maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, it no longer launches from a tube. They went to the regular tower because a silo is too loud for the payload, right? Here's today's launch! Well, the build at least.
