The two-stage LV Energia of a package design using a parallel arrangement of stages and a backside accommodation of payload,
has four strap-on boosters of stage I (boosters A) arranged around stage II (core stage TS). LV is installed on a pre-launch
integration adapter (YA) serving to mate mechanical, pneudraulic, and electric connections between LV and the launch pad and
the ground support equipment for pre-launch processing. The pre-launch integration adapter serves in the capacity
of a support structure element during transportation and assembling. After a launch, the pre-launch integration adapter
remains on the launch pad and can be re-used.
