The website graphically shows the capabilities of Russian launch vehicles, from the Angara-1.2 light class LV and the Soyuz-2 medium class LV to the Proton-M and Angara-A5 heavy class LVs. With the help of these launch vehicles, the customer will be able to bring the payloads of the needed masses to the required orbits. Moreover, the information on the website allows customers to understand the timeframe needed for their payloads to go into space. This facilitates mission planning and simplifies financial and investment activity for the customer.

The Glavkosmos website provides a form of feedback for customers interested in receiving more detailed information on launch opportunities, deadlines and conditions for the implementation of the dedicated mission.
