QUOTE (DEChengst @ May 14 2006, 09:28 AM)  Nope. Nope. It's a ballistic missile, but it's not an American one. Force de Frappe? I see no Red Stars... Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!

Yes it's a Topol-M
 The rocket Rakhir posted sure looks like an ICBM so I guess it would be something like a Volna or Rokot. -------------------- PDP, VAX and Alpha fanatic ; HP-Compaq is the Satan! ; Let us pray daily while facing Maynard! ; Life starts at 150 km/h ;

Yes, it's a converted ICBM and you are right with the country of origin but it's not a Volna or a Rokot. Here is another indication : the first demonstration launch took place less than 5 years ago. |

No other suggestion ?
OK, let's add some new indications. The first and unique flight was performed from Baikonour but the main launch site of this rocket is supposed to be Svobodny. At the time of the first launch, the company was expecting to start the commercial launches in 2006. |

Ahh, you're no fun at all  Yes, it's an Athena 2, all solid (if you don't count the 4th stage) rocket, notable for launching Lunar Prospector in 1998. Three flights, one failure -- payload fairing failed to jettison. -------------------- |
