History
Site 43 at Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia is a Soyuz-2 launch pad supporting military and commercial satellite launches into high-inclination orbits. Plesetsk’s high latitude of 62.9 degrees north makes it ideal for polar and sun-synchronous missions. The cosmodrome is Russia’s most active launch site by number of launches.
