Soyuz (R-7 family) and Proton rocket first stage failures from 1960 to present
A compilation of (mostly rare) footage of R-7 family launch vehicles and Proton family launch vehicles sourced from Kosmonavtika, Roscosmos, and KIK USSR. Supporting information primarily from KIK USSR, Astronautix, and Claude Lafleur's encyclopedia.
In general I used as much continuous footage as publicly available. In one case (the recent Soyuz-FG failure), I cut the footage because the failure occurs fairly late. In one Proton-K flight, the footage was very distorted and incomplete, so it was spliced together to roughly chronological order. It still is missing a phase of flight. The dual fairing failures of Soyuz-U in 1996 are shown together for comparison purposes – it's remarkable that the aerodynamic forces are so close that the failure occurred at almost identical times.

The Most Launched Rocket - A History Of The R-7
60 Years ago Sputnik-1 became the first artificial satellite, launched by the Soviet rocket program on board a modified R-7 ICBM designed by Sergey Korolev. Over the subsequent decades the R-7 continue to fly and go on to launch over 1000 times in its various iterations - Sputnik, Luna, Vostok, Voskhod, Molniya and Soyuz. The R-7 is by far the most prolific orbit capable rocket?

R7 Semyorka missile #onthisday
The Soviet R-7 Semyorka missile, developed during the Cold War, holds a significant place in the annals of space exploration and military history. Designed by Chief Designer Sergei Korolev, the R-7 Semyorka was the world's first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and played a pivotal role in the space race by launching the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, in 1957. The missile had a profound impact on geopolitical dynamics and technological advancements, marking the onset of the space age. Beyond its military applications, the R-7 Semyorka became the foundation for subsequent space missions, including the historic flight of Yuri Gagarin, the first human in space, in 1961. The enduring legacy of the R-7 Semyorka persists through its contributions to space exploration and its sym...

-armed superpower. MUSIC But there was a problem. The Soviet Union had finished the war with a giant, battle -hardened army. And the country soon had its own nuclear weapons, becoming the world's second superpower. Its communist ideology, calling for international revolution, was a direct threat to the West. MUSIC Both the Soviet Union and the United States had been working to extend their nuclear strike capabilities by developing missile technology. MUSIC Here the Soviets were at a disadvantage. Their primitive warheads were big and cumbersome. They had to design rockets capable of lifting much heavier loads. MUSIC But in October 1957, the Soviets surprised everyone. MUSIC The heavy lift R7 rocket had sent Sputnik, the first artificial satellite, into orbit. The 83 kg sphere was equipped ...

SUMMARY
=======
The R-7 family of rockets (Russian: Р-7) is a series of rockets, derived from the Soviet R-7 Semyorka, the world's first ICBM. More R-7 rockets have been launched than any other family of large rockets.
When Soviet nuclear warheads became lighter, the R-7 turned out to be impractical as a ballistic missile. It was not necessary to launch such heavy payloads in a military application. The rockets became useful in the Soviet, and later, Russian space programmes with long-term development. Their purpose shifted primarily to launching satellites, probes, manned and unmanned spacecraft, and other non-threatening payloads. The R-7 family consists of both missiles and orbital carrier rockets. Derivatives include the Vostok, Voskhod and Soyuz rockets, which as of 2017 have been used for all Soviet, and later Russian manned spaceflights. The type has a unique configuration where four break-away liquid-fueled engines surround a central core. The core acts as, in effect, a "second stage" after the other four engines are jettisoned.
These rockets are expendable.
Later modifications were standardised around the Soyuz design. The Soyuz-FG and Soyuz-2 are currently in use. The official Russian press announced that the Soyuz-FG is to be retired by 2019 or 2020 in favour of the Soyuz-2.1a. R-7 rockets are launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Guiana Space Centre (since 2011, see Soyuz at the Guiana Space Centre), and the Vostochny Cosmodrome (first launch 2016).
After the R-7/Soyuz-U and the Thor and Delta rocket families, the Kosmos launch vehicle , the best known of which is the Kosmos-3M, holds the 3rd place record for number of successful orbital launch attempts, that is, of placing a satellite in orbit.

The R-7 family of rockets (Russian: Р-7) is a series of rockets, derived from the Soviet R-7 Semyorka, the world's first ICBM. More R-7 rockets have been launched than any other family of large rockets.

The R-7 family consists of both missiles and orbital carrier rockets. Derivatives include the Vostok, Voskhod and Soyuz rockets, which as of 2017 have been used for all Soviet, and later Russian manned spaceflights. The type has a unique configuration where four break-away liquid-fueled engines surround a central core. The core acts as, in effect, a "second stage" after the other four engines are jettisoned.
These rockets are expendable.
Later modifications were standardised around the Soyuz design. The Soyuz-FG and Soyuz-2 are currently in use. The official Russian press announced that the Soyuz-FG is to be retired by 2019 or 2020 in favour of the Soyuz-2.1a. R-7 rockets are launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Guiana Space Centre (since 2011, see Soyuz at the Guiana Space Centre), and the Vostochny Cosmodrome (first launch 2016).

SUMMARY
=======
The R-7 family of rockets (Russian: Р-7) is a series of rockets, derived from the Soviet R-7 Semyorka, the world's first ICBM. More R-7 rockets have been launched than any other family of large rockets.
When Soviet nuclear warheads became lighter, the R-7 turned out to be impractical as a ballistic missile. It was not necessary to launch such heavy payloads in a military application. The rockets became useful in the Soviet, and later, Russian space programmes with long-term development. Their purpose shifted primarily to launching satellites, probes, manned and unmanned spacecraft, and other non-threatening payloads. The R-7 family consists of both missiles and orbital carrier rockets. Derivatives include the Vostok, Voskhod and Soyuz rockets, which as of 2017 have been used for all Soviet, and later Russian manned spaceflights. The type has a unique configuration where four break-away liquid-fueled engines surround a central core. The core acts as, in effect, a "second stage" after the other four engines are jettisoned.
These rockets are expendable.
Later modifications were standardised around the Soyuz design. The Soyuz-FG and Soyuz-2 are currently in use. The official Russian press announced that the Soyuz-FG is to be retired by 2019 or 2020 in favour of the Soyuz-2.1a. R-7 rockets are launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Guiana Space Centre (since 2011, see Soyuz at the Guiana Space Centre), and the Vostochny Cosmodrome (first launch 2016).
After the R-7/Soyuz-U and the Thor and Delta rocket families, the Kosmos launch vehicle , the best known of which is the Kosmos-3M, holds the 3rd place record for number of successful orbital launch attempts, that is, of placing a satellite in orbit.
