2. Various Types of Space Head Module SHM for a launch of large-size spacecraft (Type 3) SHM for a cluster launch of several spacecraft (Type 2) SHM for a launch of medium-size spacecraft (Type 1) 5250 ~ 4500 5250 ~ 1300 7450 ~5400 3000

3. Type 1 of SHM for a launch of medium-size spacecraft Payload fairing (PLF) Platform A Platform B Adaptor Platform B frame Protective shield SHM elements When in orbit, separation of PLF with Platform A occurs 2 seconds prior to SC separation. SHM was used for the launches of Genesis-1, 2 spacecraft. Its modification with a different adaptor was used for the launch of OICETS and INDEX spacecraft. SHM can be used with many variants of adaptor. 700 3170 1380

4. Modification of SHM (Type 1) enabling the increase in LV lift capability SHM was designed for the launch of Theos spacecraft. It can be used with many variants of adaptors. ~ 2600 Separated elements

5. SHM elements PLF upper cone Platform A with dispensers Platform A Adaptor and Platform B frame Most popular type of SHM to be used for launching several spacecraft. PLF lower cone Gas-Dynamic Shield (GDS) Platform B Type 2 of SHM for a launch of several spacecraft Separated elements 2235 935 700 1380 ~ 1300 ~ 1800

6. PLF upper cone Platform A frame with adaptors Platform A Cone with adaptors SHM elements SHM was designed for the launch of RapidEye spacecraft. LV fitted with this SHM possesses highest lift capability due to use of a lighter shells of Platform A and Platform B newly manufactured PLF lower cone GDS Platform B Separation of PLF upper cone Separation of GDS Separation of PLF lower cone and Platform A Separation of spacecraft Modification of SHM (Type 2) enabling the increase in LV lift capability 2235 935 920 1160

7. Type 3 of SHM for launches of large-size spacecraft PLF PLF lower cone with GDS Platform A Platform B Adaptor SHM elements PLF is jettisoned at final phase of 2 nd stage operation. When in orbit, separation of Platform A with GDS occurs 2 seconds prior to SC separation. SHM was designed for the launch of TerraSAR-X spacecraft. To be used for the launches of Tandem-Х, Kompsat -5 and CryoSat-2 spacecraft. 3170 1486 2260 2020

8. Modification of SHM (Type 3) is prospective SHM for a launch of large-size SC with extended mass PLF PLF lower cone with GDS Platform A Platform B Platform C with adapter SHM elements Prospective SHM with extended payload envelope for a launch of large- size SC with extended mass. New type of PLF lower cone was manufactured to extend the payload envelope. Separated elements 2235 935 860 2500 920

9. Modification of SHM (Type 3) can be used with the adaptor developed for a launch of TerraSAR-X SC Using of the adaptor developed for a launch of TerraSAR-X SC allows to extend payload envelope ~5400 ~4400
