The Zenit-2 was a Ukrainian, previously Soviet, expendable carrier rocket. First flown in 1985, it has been launched 37 times, with 6 failures. It is a member of the Zenit family of rockets designed by Yuzhmash.
==History== With a 13–15 ton payload in LEO, it was intended as up-middle-class launcher greater than 7-ton-payload middle Soyuz and smaller than 20-ton-payload heavy Proton. Zenit-2 would be certified for crewed launches and placed in a specially built launch pad at Baykonur spaceport, carrying the new crewed partially reusable Zarya spacecraft that was developed in the late 1980s but then cancelled. Also in the 1980s, Vladimir Chelomey's firm proposed the never-realised 15-ton Uragan spaceplane, which would have been launched by the Zenit-2.
