The Angara rocket family (Russian: Ангара) is a family of launch vehicles being developed by the Moscow-based Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center.

In July 2012, it was reported that the Angara A5 will be used as the new launch vehicle for Orel. [22] As of August 2023, the first uncrewed launch of Orel is expected in 2028. The spacecraft will be carried by an Angara A5 from Vostochny Cosmodrome .

Not counting unapproved "paper" designs, the Angara-5 rocket, a.k.a. Angara-A5 or 14A127, will become the most powerful version within its family. For the first time since the dissolution of the USSR, Russia will acquire a space launcher which could deliver more payload than the nation's current workhorse Proton rocket.

2024年3月6日 · Russia plans a next-generation crew spacecraft, Orel, that officials claim will begin launching on the Angara A5 rocket in 2028. There's no evidence Orel could be ready for test flights...

2024年10月23日 · For flights to the ROS, given the peculiar orbital inclination (about 97° on the Equator), the Orel will be launched exclusively from Vostochny using the Angara A5P launcher. The light version Orelok can also be launched, towards more equatorial orbits, also from Baikonur using the future medium launcher Soyuz-5.

Orel missions are launched atop Russian Soyuz rockets or the upcoming Angara rockets from Baikonur Cosmodrome or Vostochny Cosmodrome. Key milestones include successful launches, rendezvous and docking with the ISS, and safe returns to Earth. Dimensions, weight, and payload capacity vary depending on mission requirements and configuration.

我们期待着订购这型火箭，以发射新一代载人飞船“Орел”（英文Orel，译为雄鹰载人飞船）。到目前为止，我们有一个Angara A5和两个Angara A5M正在建造。 记者 ：什么是Angara A5M？它有什么特别之处吗？ Sergei Kuznetsov ：我们计划从2024年开始发射Angara A5M。但客户 ...

Angara Orel Russian orbital launch vehicle. The Orel, consisted of the Angara 3I plus an MKK spaceplane, similar to the MAKS. This would have a 431 metric ton gross lift-off mass, with the spacecraft weighing 13.5 metric tons including a 4.2 metric ton payload.

俄罗斯Orel载人飞船目前的测试计划： 2025-2027：进行四次直升机空投开伞试验，用于测试飞船的着陆系统。 2026：在东方航天发射场进行零高度逃逸试验，使用Angara A5 Nzh合练箭作为逃逸基座。

This could be an eventual replacement of the Soyuz spacecraft for ferry of crews to space stations.
