The Eurockot (Rockot) launch vehicle, with a payload capability of 4,100 lb to LEO and a launch price around US $12 M, is targeted at the Little LEO and LEO O&M markets.  Eurockot has signed numerous commercial launch contracts.  Customers include the GRACE experiment as well as satellites for the E-Sat, Leo-One and Iridium LEO constellations.  Launches will take place out of Plesetsk, Russia and Baikonur, Kazakhstan. 

In 1998 Eurockot began incorporating minor structural improvements to the Breeze upper stage to increase payload usable volume and decrease flight dynamic loads.  An overview of the new configuration can be found in the IMAGE GALLERY.
