Universal Rocket
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Universal Rocket or UR family of missiles and carrier rockets is a Russian, previously Soviet rocket family. Intended to allow the same technology to be used in all Soviet rockets, the UR is produced by the Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Centre. Several variants were originally planned, of which only three flew, and only two of which service. In addition, the cancelled UR-500 ICBM formed the basis for the Proton carrier rocket.

[edit] UR-200
The UR-200 was intended to be a larger ICBM, which could also be used as a carrier rocket. Nine test flights were made between 4 November 1963, and 20 October 1964, before the programme was cancelled.
[edit] UR-500
The UR-500 was designed to be a very large ICBM. The programme was cancelled after two flights. With the addition of a third stage, the rocket was re-used as the Proton carrier rocket, which is still in service as of 2008.
