Rockot (2182 words)
Although Rockot's first test missions originated from test silos in Baikonur, initial commercial operations with the booster were moved to Russia's northern cosmodrome in Plesetsk.
The first launch of the Rockot booster with the Breeze K upper stage and a RVSN-40 experimental satellite from its new pad in Plesetsk was expected as early as September 1999, however, financial and technical problems delayed the inaguration of the pad until end of 1999.
The first Rockot's launch from Plesetsk was expected to validate the new rocket and its renovated launch complex for future commercial operations.
