Proton was a model of Soviet scientific artificial satellites. The maximal mass was about 17 tonnes. State motto (Russian): Пролетарии вÑех Ñтран, ÑоединÑйтеÑÑŒ! (Transliterated: Proletarii vsekh stran, soedinyaytes!) (Translated: Workers of the world, unite!) Anthems: The Internationale (1922-1944) / Hymn of the Soviet Union (1944-1991) Capital Moscow Official language None; Russian (de facto) Government Federation of Socialist republics/ Communist state Last Premier Ivan Silayev Last President Mikhail Gorbachev Area...

A tonne (also called metric ton) is a non-SI unit of mass, accepted for use with SI, defined as: 1 tonne = 103 kg (= 106 g). ...
During 1965-1968 4 "Protons" were launched.
They were the source of the name for the Proton rocket which launched them as some of its first payloads. The Proton rocket (formal designation: UR-500) is a Russian unmanned space vehicle design first launched in 1965 and still in use as of 2005. ...
The proton is the lightest of the baryon class of elementary particles.
The antiparticle of the proton, the antiproton, was discovered in 1955; it has the same mass as the proton but a unit negative charge and opposite magnetic moment.
Protons are frequently used in a particle accelerator as either the bombarding (accelerated) particle, the target nucleus, or both.
According to the representatives of Rosaviacosmos and Khrunichev enterprise, the Proton manufacturer, several problems with the interfaces of the vehicle and the hardware of the launch complex were discovered during the tests on the pad.
The launch of the Intelsat-903 satellite was previously expected on November 26, 2001 and on March 4, 2002.
The Proton rocket with the L1 spacecraft for the circumlunar mission is poised for launch in Baikonur.
