Klipper
The Soyuz-2 launch vehicles may be used to place the Kliper shuttle in a near-earth orbit. The Klipper will weight about 14.5 metric tons and it will be able to be docked to the International Space Station for one year or perform an autonomous 15-day flights for space exploration or space tourism. The spacecraft would be able to make about 25 trips to space.
The new ship combines the advantages of the manned Soyuz spaceship that Russian-American crews fly to the ISS in, and unique Buran, which regrettably has not joined the Russian space fleet. The Klipper, which weighs less than the Buran, uses the Buran's heat protection and navigation systems.
Unlike the Soyuz, the Klipper can maneuver in orbit and carry six people and 700kg of cargo (the Soyuz can only carry 3 people and 300kg). It is also a more comfortable and safe spacecraft. Most importantly, it can be easily adapted for use to rotate crews and evacuate a space station as well as for use as a component for interplanetary flights.
Therefore, the Soyuz-2-Rus launch vehicle and the Klipper spaceship will be unrivalled in the world at least in the next two decades.
