Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center

Flight record

Counts are launches filed under KhSC’s own name in The Space Devs’ Launch Library register. They are not a count of missions or payloads: a spacecraft that flew on a contracted vehicle is credited to the operator that flew it.

Who flies for them, and who they fly for

An operator owns the rocket and runs the count, and it is the operator’s name the launch schedule filters by. A customer funds the mission, supplies the payload and buys the ride. Plenty of organisations are both. KhSC is counted below in whichever role the current manifest actually gives it.

No scheduled flight in the current window names KhSC while being operated by somebody else.

How this is counted: a scheduled launch is treated as a customer flight when this organisation’s name or abbreviation appears in the launch name, mission name or programme and somebody else is flying it. Mission descriptions are not searched, and the window is one batch of the next launches worldwide, reaching to 2026-12-31 00:00:00Z — so both counts are a floor, not a complete manifest.

About KhSC

Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center is a Moscow-based producer of spacecraft and space-launch systems, including the Proton and Rokot rockets and is currently developing the Angara rocket family. The Proton launch vehicle launches from Baikonur and Rokot launches from Baikonur and Plesetsk. Angara will launch from Plesetsk and Vostochny.

Upcoming launches

“T-0 known to” is the register’s own precision on the launch time — a date good only to the month is shown as such rather than counted down as if it were exact. A go-probability appears only where the operator published one for that flight; Delta-V does not calculate it and it is not a forecast made here.

Common questions

How many launches has Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center flown?

Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center has 193 launches on record under its own name, of which 178 succeeded and 15 failed. The register counts launches flown under an operator's own name, not missions or payloads it contributed to.

What is Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's success rate?

Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center has a lifetime launch success rate of 92.2%, calculated as 178 successful flights out of 193 attempts. Its current run is 4 consecutive successes.

When is Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center's next launch?

Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center is not flying anything inside Delta-V's current manifest window, which reaches to 2026-12-31 00:00:00Z.

Does Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center fly its own rockets, or buy launches from another operator?

Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center has 193 launches flown under its own name in the launch register. It is not the operator on any flight in the current manifest window. An operator owns the rocket and runs the count; a customer funds the mission, supplies the payload and buys the ride. The operator filter on the launch schedule lists only the former, which is why a well-known agency can be central to a flight and still not appear on it.

Where is Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center based?

Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center is based in Russia and the register classifies it as a government operator. It was founded in 1916.
