The exterior of the new Start-1M light-class conversion rocket system, based on the Topol-M intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), was presented for the first time at an exhibition in Russia's Federation Council on Wednesday, a Sputnik correspondent reported.
The mock-up features the rocket mounted on an eight-axle chassis. Both are painted white, with "New Start" inscribed on the rocket body.
The display also included a model of Russia's new orbital station (orbital assembly to start in 2028), the mockups of Soyuz-2 and new Soyuz-5 rockets, the advanced Amur-LNG methane launcher with reusable first stage, lunar station prototypes, and various satellites, including Russian navigation system GLONASS.
The first launch of the Start-1M rocket from the Vostochny Cosmodrome is slated for 2026.
