List of R-7 launches (2005–2009)

This entry documents all known launches of rockets derived from the R-7 Semyorka ICBM platform, specifically occurring between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2009. The R-7 family of rockets, developed by Sergei Korolev's OKB-1 in the Soviet Union, includes a wide variety of launch vehicles used for both manned and unmanned space missions. These launches, conducted primarily from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia, represent a significant portion of global space activity during this period.

Included in this list are launches of the Soyuz family of rockets, such as Soyuz-U, Soyuz-FG, and Soyuz-2, which are direct descendants of the R-7. The Molniya family of rockets, also based on the R-7, are also included. Each entry should ideally contain the launch date, launch site, rocket type, payload, and a brief description of the mission's purpose and outcome (success, partial failure, or failure). The primary purpose of this list is to provide a comprehensive record of R-7 family launches during this specific timeframe. Data sources for this information include official launch agency reports (e.g., Roscosmos, Arianespace), reputable spaceflight news websites (e.g., Spaceflight Now, NASA Spaceflight), and established space launch databases (e.g., Gunter's Space Page).

Note that while every effort is made to ensure accuracy and completeness, information regarding certain missions, particularly those with military payloads, may be incomplete or unavailable due to national security concerns. This list is intended as a resource for researchers, space enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the history of space exploration and the development of rocket technology.
