Introduction
Rockot Missions at a Glance
Rockot has to date delivered a total of twenty-eight spacecraft precisely into their required orbits starting with Eurockot's maiden launch in 2000. Eurockot has now demonstrated through these missions the major capabilities of the Rockot system. In particular for mission design this includes in-flight demonstrations of different types of trajectories such as polar and sun-synchronous orbits, multiple re-start capability of the upper stage for plane changes and orbit raising, injection of multiple spacecraft into different orbits in one mission and more.
Rockot successfully entered the era of commercial launches in 2000 and has meanwhile performed thirteen launches, twelve of which were flawless.
