ILS PROTON BREEZE M LAUNCH VEHICLE
The ILS Proton Breeze M Specifications
Performance Reference: 6,150 kg to reference PSM at 1,500m/s delta V to GSO
Typical Mission: Approximately 9 hours utilizing a five-burn Breeze M mission design
Stages: Three-stage Proton rocket with restartable upper stage
Structure Type: Monocoque
Materials: Aluminum and composites
Propellants: Nitrogen Tetroxide (N2O4); Unsymmetrical DiMethyl Hydrazine (UDMH)
Gross Liftoff Mass: 705,000 kg (1,554,000 lb)
Total Length: 58.2 m (191 ft), with standard commercial 4.0 m diameter fairing.
The enhanced performance provided by the commercial Proton launch vehicle enables our customers to design and launch heavier and more capable spacecraft while maintaining cost effective mission life times.
Advantages of the ILS Proton Breeze M Launch Vehicle:
Restartable upper stage for mission optimization - LEO, MEO, GTO, GSO, SSTO
Compatible with all major commercial spacecraft platforms for dedicated single and multiple launches
Experience launching dual-use satellites and satellites with hosted payloads
Demonstrated capability to build and serve space stations
ILS Proton Breeze M Rocket Stages:
+ Payload Fairing
+ Payload Adaptor
+ Breeze M
+ Proton 3rd Stage
+ Proton 1st & 2nd Stage
PAYLOAD FAIRING
The Payload Fairing encloses and protects the spacecraft
during ground operations and launch vehicle ascent.
Two PLF lengths are available at 13305 mm and the standard 15255 mm. Although of similar design, there are specific useable volumes for the two fairing types tailored to individual adapter systems. Specific adapters take into account required adapter clearances for installation and required flight clearances with the adapter structure.
Please see Section 4 of the Proton Mission Planner's Guide for further detail
PAYLOAD ADAPTOR
Multiple standard payload adaptors
are available to meet a multitude of
spacecraft mission requirements to
accommodate both mass and volume.
BREEZE M
Length: 2.61 m
Diameter: 4.0 m
Engine(s): One 14D30 Sustainer, Four 11D458M Control Thrusters
Thrust: 19.62 kN
Inert Mass: 2,370 kg
Propellant: 19,800 kg
Mass: Comprised of a central core and an additional
jettisonable propellant tank and powered by one
pump-fed gimballed main engine.Features increased
lift capability of 6,150 kg (13,558 lb) PSM to
geosynchronous transfer orbit with a 1,500 m/sec
residual velocity to GSO. Strengthened structure
allows launching heavier spacecraft with higher
center of gravity locations, and even allows for
launching multiple spacecraft.
PROTON 3RD STAGE

Guidance, navigation, and control of the
Proton M during operations of the first three
stages is carried out by a triple redundant closed-loop
digital avionics system mounted in the 3rd Stage
PROTON 1ST AND 2ND STAGE
2nd Stage
Length: 17.05 m
Diameter: 4.1 m
Engine(s): Three RD-0210 and One RD-0211
Thrust: 2.4 MN

Inert Mass: 30,600 kg
Propellant: 428,300 kg
Mass: Consists of a central tank containing
oxidizer surrounded by six outboard
fuel tanks, each of which also carries
one of the six engines.
