1. Soyuz-5 Launch Vehicle: Energia showcased a full-scale model of the Soyuz-5 rocket, which is planned to replace the Soyuz-2 launch vehicle. The Soyuz-5 is designed to launch various satellites and spacecraft into orbit and can lift payloads of up to 17 tons to low Earth orbit.
2. Soyuz-6 Rocket: Energia presented the concept of the Soyuz-6 super-heavy launch vehicle. This rocket is being considered as a potential future successor to the Soyuz-5 and is envisioned to have a payload capacity of up to 100 tons to low Earth orbit.
3. Angara-A5 Rocket: A model of the Angara-A5 heavy-lift launch vehicle was displayed, representing Energia's efforts in developing domestic launch systems. The Angara-A5 is capable of launching payloads weighing up to 25 tons to geostationary orbit and is intended to replace the Proton rocket.
4. Soyuz MS-23 Spacecraft: Energia showcased a full-size mock-up of the Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft, which was sent to the International Space Station (ISS) on February 24, 2023, to replace the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft that experienced a coolant leak.
5. Cryogenic Upper Stage: Energia demonstrated the cryogenic upper stage being developed for the Soyuz-5 and Soyuz-6 launch vehicles. This stage will use liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as propellants and will provide additional thrust for spacecraft to reach higher orbits.
6. Space Robotics: Energia presented its capabilities in space robotics, including robotic systems for satellite servicing, debris removal, and on-orbit assembly tasks.
7. Spacecraft Programs: Energia showcased models and information related to its spacecraft programs, such as the Eagle (Orel) spacecraft, which is designed for future crewed missions to the Moon, and the Federatsiya spacecraft, which is being developed for human missions to Mars.
Overall, Energia's participation in MAKS-2023 highlighted the company's ongoing advancements in space technology, launch systems, and spacecraft development, showcasing its contributions to the Russian space program and its position as a key player in the global space industry.
