                     The following results were achieved in the course of S.P.Korolev 
                      RSC Energia's launch vehicle development efforts:  
                    
                      - The first launch of A-4 rocket assembled on the basis 
                        of components and assemblies of German rocket V-2; 
 
                      - Missiles systems with ballistic missiles R-1, R-2, R-9, 
                        RT-1, RT-2, RT-2P (RT-1, -2 are solid-propellant rockets) 
                        were developed and subsequently put into service;
 
                      -  Strategic missile R5 and tactical missile R-11 were 
                        developed; 
 
                      - The latter was modified for launches from submarines 
                        and was indexed as R-11FM; 
 
                      - Two-stage intercontinental ballistic missiles R-7 and 
                        R-9, three-stage Vostok launch vehicle (consisting of 
                        R-7 and upper stage Block E as a third stage) for missions 
                        to the Moon, and four-stage Molniya launch vehicle for 
                        launching payloads to Venus and Mars (consisting of R-7 
                        and upper stages Block I and Block L) were developed;
 
                      -  A considerable amount of experience was accumulated 
                        during development under the lunar program of the multi-stage 
                        multi-purpose launch vehicle N1;
 
                      -  A unique rocket and space system Energia-Buran was 
                        developed;
 
                      -  Multi-purpose standardized upper stages Block D and 
                        Block DM were developed as stage IV for Proton launch 
                        vehicle, and Block DM-SL was developed as stage III of 
                        integrated launch vehicle Zenit-3SL;
 
                      -  Based on the developed elements a number of advanced 
                        launch vehicle projects was developed, new rocket and 
                        space systems (Avrora, etc.) are under development; 
 
                      - Emergency crew rescue system installed on Soyuz launch 
                        vehicle was developed and proved its efficiency.
