    Space launch vehicle Shtil' (Russian: (Штиль - calm (weather)), is a converted SLBM used for launching artificial satellites into orbit. It is based on the R-29RM designed by State Rocket Center Makeyev and related to the Volna Launch Vehicle. The Shtil' is a 3-stage launch vehicle that uses liquid propellant. It is the first launch vehicle to successfully launch a payload into orbit from a submarine, although launch from land based structures is possible as well.

    Versions

    Shtil'

    This is the baseline version of the launch vehicle. The payload is placed in a special capsule in the space head next to the third stage engine nozzle. The missiles used are withdrawn from active service with the Russian Navy and converted to civilian launch vehicles by removing the warheads and antennas. To inject the payload into the right orbit the flight software is adjusted and additional measuring equipment is installed. Launches can be performed from Delta IV submarines while submerged.

    Proposed future versions

    Shtil

    by: Rammstein

    Shtil'- veter molchit
    Upal beloj chajkoj na dno
    Shtil'- nash korabl' zabyt
    Odin, v mire skovannom snom
    Mezhdu useh vremen
    Bez imen i lic
    My uzhne ne zhdem
    Chto prosnetsia briz
    Shtil'- shodim s uma
    Zhara pahnet chernoj smoloj
    Smert' odnogo lish' nuzhna
    I my, my vernemsia damoj
    Ego krov' i plot'
    Unov' nasytit nas
    A za smert ' emu
    Mozhet. Bog vozdast
    Chto nas zhdet, more hranit molchan'e
    Zhazhda zhit' sushit serdca do dna
    Tol'ko zhizn' zdes' nichego ne stoit
    Zhizn drugih, no ne tvoia
    Net, grom ne grianul s nebes
    Kogda pili krov 'kak zver'e
    No nesterpimym stal blesk
    Kresta, chto my luzhnym zovem
    I v postlednij mig
    Podnialas' volna
    I razdalsia krik
    Vperedi zemlia
    Chto nas zhdet, more hranit molchan'e
    Zhazhda zhit' sushit serdca do dna
    Tol'ko zhizn' zdes' nichego ne stoit
    Zhizn drugih, no ne tvoia
    Shtil'- veter molchit
    Upal beloj chajkoj na dno
    Shtil'- nash korabl' zabyt
    Odin, v mire skovannom snom
    Shtil'.....
    Chto nas zhdet, more hranit molchan'e
    Zhazhda zhit' sushit serdca do dna
    Tol'ko zhizn' zdes' nichego ne stoit
    Zhizn drugih, no ne tvoia (3x)
