Groza

Part of Buran

Variant of the Energia launch vehicle with two strap-on boosters instead of four. This would have fulfilled the 50 metric ton payload requirement had the third generation booster plan been fully implemented.

Status: Design 1987. Payload: 50,000 kg (110,000 lb). Thrust: 23,500.00 kN (5,283,000 lbf). Gross mass: 1,700,000 kg (3,700,000 lb). Height: 97.00 m (318.00 ft). Diameter: 7.75 m (25.42 ft). Apogee: 200 km (120 mi).

LEO Payload: 50,000 kg (110,000 lb) to a 200 km orbit at 51.60 degrees.
