Soyuz-FG №У15000-065 for Soyuz MS-04 is insured for 806,937,000 and the fairing for 83,971,000.http://www.zakupki.gov.ru/223/purchase/public/purchase/info/common-info.html?noticeId=5132026I notice fairing is 2/146.http://www.energia.ru/ru/iss/iss51/im/photo_04-12-16.jpgSo that appears to tie in with the rocket being 2/139?
Both the first and the last of the liquid-fuelled Cold War ICBMs.
Quote from: gwiz on 05/15/2017 09:07 amBoth the first and the last of the liquid-fuelled Cold War ICBMs.R-7 is not the last of the liquid fuelled Cold War ICBMs.Russia has still some liquid fuelled ICBMs in service:46 x R-36M2 at Dombarovsky and Uzhur30 x UR-100NU at TatishchevoUR-100NU is also still in service as Rokot space launch vehicle
http://russianspaceweb.com/soyuz_lv_2017.html#vostochnyOn June 27, the Chief Designer Council, overseeing the development of Soyuz rockets, met at RKTs Progress in the city of Samara, where this rocket family is manufactured. According to the official press-release issued a day later, the meeting re-confirmed two launches of the Soyuz rockets from the Vostochny launch site in the 4th quarter of 2017 with Kanopus-V No. 3-4 and Meteor-M No. 1-2 satellites. The head of the launch vehicle development at RKTs Progress Dmitry Baranov reported that the rockets for the two missions had been scheduled for shipment to Vostochny at the end of August and the end of October.The same meeting also reviewed preparations for switching the Soyuz-2 series of rockets to a new fuel, known in Russian as naftil.
Two rockets were left without payloads, following the decision to launch the next Meteor-M satellites from Vostochny.In 2016 Roskosmos paid for the service of four rockets waiting launch.

Soyuz-2-1b №020 was possibly the rocket intended to launch Spektr-RG.Roskosmos have a new contract for the service of four rockets in 2017.http://www.zakupki.gov.ru/epz/contract/contractCard/common-info.html?reestrNumber=4770238802717000022If these are the same four rockets as in 2016, then it could be Soyuz-2-1b №Л15000-020 (32/135) for Resurs-P №4 and №Г15000-031 (28/136) for the launch of Resurs-P №5?See also:-http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=24942.msg1502258#msg1502258http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=17286.msg1502988#msg1502988http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=17286.msg1563083#msg1563083
Russia to eventually switch fuel type of all Kerolox stages on all rockets from RG-1 to Naftil starting with Soyuz-2 series first then later Soyuz FG once the fuel type get approval for use on man rated flights. Other companies also plan to make the switch but they haven't revealed when they plan to make the transition.Quotehttp://russianspaceweb.com/soyuz_lv_2017.html#vostochnyOn June 27, the Chief Designer Council, overseeing the development of Soyuz rockets, met at RKTs Progress in the city of Samara, where this rocket family is manufactured.
