"One more very promising project is development of the Aurora launch vehicles on an order from Australia. This is the next, more powerful version of Soyuz launch vehicle, our most venerable rocket, which has been launched more than two thousand times. The new launch vehicle Aurora will be able to put into low Earth orbit not seven, but 12 tons, and two tons into the geostationary orbit. Today the launch site on the Australian Christmas island is already under construction. The first launch is scheduled for early 2003. Similar launching facilities will be built at Baikonur and Plesetsk - this time for carrying out Russian Federal programs."
