Russian ICBM-derived light-lift orbital rocket
A Cold-War UR-100N ICBM fitted with a new Briz-KM upper stage, sold commercially out of Plesetsk by the German-Russian Eurockot joint venture. 34 launches between 1990 and 2019, then retired because the Ukrainian-built avionics it depended on were no longer available.
