Russian orbital launch vehicle. The Angara 3A was a proposed variant of the modular launch vehicle that would use two universal rocket modules (URM's) as boosters flanking one URM in the core, with a LOx/Kerosene upper stage. It could put 14 metric tons into low earth orbit
LEO Payload: 14,000 kg (30,000 lb) to a 200 km orbit at 63.00 degrees.
