Editing Dnepr (rocket) (section)

== Launch history ==
Before the Dnepr entered commercial service it was in service with the [[Strategic Rocket Forces]] which launched the ICBM version over 160 times with a reliability of 97%. The rocket had been used several times for commercial purposes with a single failure.

The Dnepr has at two points held the record for the most satellites orbited in a single launch; the April 2007 launch with 14 payloads held the record until 20 November 2013, when an American [[Minotaur I]] placed 29 satellites and two experiment packages into orbit.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2013/11/orbital-minotaur-1-multitude-payloads/|title=Orbital's Minotaur I successfully lofts multitude of payloads|first=William|last=Graham|publisher=NASASpaceflight.com|date=20 November 2013|access-date=22 November 2013}}</ref> The next day a Dnepr re-took the record, placing 32 satellites and an experiment package bolted to the upper stage into low Earth orbit.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2013/11/russian-dnepr-record-breaking-32-satellite-haul/|title=Russian Dnepr conducts record-breaking 32 satellite haul|first=William|last=Graham|publisher=NASASpaceflight.com|date=21 November 2013|access-date=22 November 2013}}</ref> This record was broken by an [[Antares (rocket)|Antares]] launch in January 2014 which carried 34 spacecraft.

=== Launch failure ===
The committee investigating the failed launch on July 26, 2006, concluded that the failure was caused by a malfunctioning of the pumping hydraulic drive of combustion chamber #4. The control malfunctioning brought about the disturbances, which led to the roll instability, excessive dispersions of the yaw and pitch angles. Thrust termination occurred at 74 seconds after lift-off. The crash site was located 150&nbsp;km from the launch pad in an unpopulated area of Kazakhstan. Toxic propellants polluted the crash site, forcing Russia to pay US$1.1m in compensation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2006/11/03/news/AS_GEN_Kazakhstan_Russia_Space.php|title=Russia to pay Kazakhstan over US$1 million in compensation for damage from rocket crash|publisher=[[International Herald Tribune]]|date=2006-10-03}}</ref> The rocket used for this launch was more than twenty years old. Procedures for launch have been changed to prevent future malfunctions of this kind.
