The Energia rocket is a heavy launcher from the 1980s and was part of the Buran programme. Energia M was designed to replace the Proton rocket.

The Baikonur Cosmodrome can be found in Kazakhstan's steppe and launches are still regularly held there. This picture takes you back to the space programme in the Soviet Union era.
