Soyuz FG U15000-065 Manned flight rocket



            This rooket called "Soyuz FG" is used, for  launch both cargo or manned, by Russian space program and also for international collaboration project .
             It is a rocket that has been in operation since 2001 and is used for the launch of goods, astronauts and satellite launches to the International Space Station. 
   Launching from the launch pad visible in the photo 

           A small rocket attached to the tip of the rocket visible in the photograph is a "launch escape system (LES)", and if something goes wrong with the rocket during launch, for each Soyuz spacecraft aboard the astronaut It is pulled and carried to a safe place. 

     Soyuz FG is a 2-3 step type rocket, with four auxiliary rockets on the first row as if surrounding the main body as shown in the picture. 


           Although it looks like there are a lot of engines, in reality there is only one in each (one in the main body of the first stage, one in the auxiliary rocket). This is because one nozzle is not one nozzle, but four nozzles. The small nozzle on the side of it controls the attitude of the rocket.



               The launch capability of Soyuz FG can launch a mass of 7800 kg in orbit as if the International Space Station is orbiting.  Arrival at the International Space Station is about 6 hours after launch. It seems long, but until 2013 it took two days from launch to arrival.
