Zenit-3SLB (LAND LAUNCH)

The Land Launch system provides commercial services from the Baikonur Cosmodrome onboard the Zenit-3SLB launch vehicle flying on environmentally friendly propellants. The three-stage Zenit-3SLB is a modified Zenit-3SL and is capable of delivering satellites to medium and high circular and elliptical Earth orbits, including geosynchronous transfer orbit, geosynchronous orbit, and escape trajectories.
