Fregat Upper Stage Usable volume beneath payload Usable volume beneath Constellations launch Dual launch fairing and ASAP-S (Arianespace configuration configuration Operated in concert with and Vega, Soyuz from CSG System for Auxiliary ) gives Arianespace the flexibility needed to orbit mid-sized Intermediate Bay satellites. Offering a payload capacity of 5 metric tons into , or 3 metric tons into , Soyuz at CSG is intended for the medium satellite market, including Earth observation, science missions and boom. Third Stage Restart capability and access to all Ideal solution for launching constellations and multiple spacecraft The successful Soyuz at CSG program carries on a long- Fregat is an autonomous and flexible upper stage that extends standing collaboration between Europe and , in Truss Interstage the capability of the lower three stages of the Soyuz vehicle to Thanks to a large variety of available dispensers, adapters particular commercial launches of Soyuz from Baikonur, provide access to a full range of orbits (LEO, SSO, MEO, GTO, and specific carrying structures, Soyuz can carry up to managed by the Starsem joint venture since 1996. The three GEO and escape). The stage can be restarted up to 6 times in 36 spacecraft and auxiliary passengers, thus making it a great Second Stage launch pads, in Baikonur, Vostochny and at CSG, are operated flight, thus enabling it to carry out complex mission profiles. solution for satellite constellations. concurrently, for the greatest benefit of Arianespace’s governmental and commercial customers. Payload fairing for a full range of spacecraft Back-up capabilities for 3-ton-class satellites The Soyuz currently offered by Arianespace is a four-stage passengers . The vehicle consists of four boosters (first The advent of Soyuz launches at CSG provides additional stage), a central core (second stage), a third stage, and the The Soyuz fairing has a diameter of 4.11 meters and an capacity to adjust the launch offering for geostationary restartable Fregat upper stage (fourth stage). Each vehicle also overall length of 11.4 meters – enabling it to accommodate satellites. The Arianespace back-up policy allows the 3-ton- includes a payload adapter/dispenser and fairing. the full range of payloads in the launch vehicle’s performance class satellites to be launched either on Ariane 5 in a dual category. launch configuration or on Soyuz as a dedicated launch. Unsurpassed flexibility Therefore, Arianespace increases the flexibility of its offer and the added value for the customer. The Soyuz is a reliable, efficient, and cost effective solution First Stage Boosters for a full range of missions from LEO to . In its Soyuz mission profile for multiple launch in a unequalled flight history, the Soyuz has already performed almost every mission profile, including orbiting satellites for , Earth observation, weather monitoring, scientific missions and manned .
