the soyuz-u launch vehicle (lv) is an improved version of the original soyuz lv. soyuz-u is part of the r-7 family of rockets based on the r-7 semyorka missile. members of this rocket family were designed by the tsskb design bureau and constructed at the progress factory in samara, russia. (these two are now a united company, tsskb-progress). the first soyuz-u flight took place on 18 may, 1973, carrying as its payload kosmos 559, a zenit military surveillance satellite.[1]
the soyuz-u vehicle replaced earlier soyuz launch vehicle variants and the voskhod rocket, all of which were closely related vehicles derived from the soviet r-7 icbm. the soyuz-u is a unified, single vehicle capable of launching manned and unmanned payloads.
soyuz-u is still in use today, making several launches a year. Gotowy do wydruku: Nie
