The launch of superheavy-class Angara missiles is planned to begin in 2026. This was announced by the head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin in an interview with the Zvezda TV channel.

According to Rogozin, the Angara missiles are built on a modular principle, that is, they are assembled from the same type of universal modules. "In order to achieve the heavyweight class, the third stage is put with a hydrogen engine," the speaker noted.

The head of Roscosmos said that the first launches of the Angara will begin in 2026. Superheavy class missiles are characterized by increased payload capacity. Rogozin noted that the Soyuz-2 rocket, widely used in Russian cosmonautics, is capable of lifting from seven to eight tons into a low reference orbit. "Now Angara is removing 24 tons and 27 tons from the Vostochny cosmodrome - due to its more southern location. Rockets with a hydrogen engine will output 37 tons each, " the speaker stressed.

"For us, this is an opportunity to launch heavy, powerful satellites into long-range orbits. Including to distant planets, " Rogozin summed up.

Angara is a family of Russian launch vehicles with oxygen-kerosene engines. The main developer and manufacturer of rockets is the State Space Research and Production Center named after M. V. Khrunichev.

On September 3, the Vostochny cosmodrome, from which the Angara family of rockets will be launched, visited Vladimir Putin. The President inspected the construction site of the launch complex and the command post of the cosmodrome.
