  1. Re:Russian luanch failure rate? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Cubesat Launch Ends in Failure

    "Currently, the mission reliability factor for the rocket is 0.97"

    From http://www.kosmotras.ru/nd2.htm

    Now its 0.96 (if this was launch n 161.)

    Its a pity anyway.

  2. Launched from where ? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Inflatable Space Station Prototype a Success

    AFAIK the Dnepr LV is launched from Baikonur, Kazakhstan, not from the Ukraine.



    The Ukranians build (most of) the rocket (which is a converted R36 ICBM), the Russians launch it from the spaceport they lease from Kazakhstan and control it from the outskirts of Moscow.



    Some pictures of the Dnepr being launched can be found on kosmotras's website: http://www.kosmotras.ru/st2.htm
    And some info on the russian mission control center:http://www.mcc.rsa.ru/

  4. Re:Could someone... by cheesybagel · · Score: 1 · on ESA Completes Important Step Toward Vega Launcher

    Yes. Usually Rokot or Dnepr launches (old refurbished Russian ICBMs) are bought for small and cheap payloads, but they aren't exactly reliable...
