updated less than an hour ago

Russian medium-lift crewed orbital rocket

Soyuz has been flying without a break since 1966 — the longest run of any orbital rocket ever, descended from the R-7 that put Sputnik up in 1957. Since 2022 it carries almost only Russian government payloads; Western customers stopped booking after the invasion of Ukraine.

We track every Soyuz launch.
