The main difference between the Strela launch vehicle (LV) and the Rokot launch vehicle (also designed on the basis of PC-18) is the minimization of changes in the design of the rocket and the launch complex. The role of the booster block is performed by the block of individual guidance of warheads on the target of the RS-18 missile.
Strela is equipped with a new head fairing of a larger volume and modified control system software.
As fuel, asymmetric dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) and nitrogen tetraoxide (AT) are used.
The launch weight of the rocket is 105 tons, the payload is up to 2 tons. The Arrow starts directly from the silo launcher.
Serial production of the RS-18 continued until 1985 [1] . Service life extended to 35 years [2] [3] .
On December 5, 2003, a test launch of the rocket was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome , as a result of which a satellite model was put into orbit.
