Using existing Zenit infrastructure at the Baikonur Space Center, the Land Launch system is based on a modified version of the proven Sea Launch vehicle, the three-stage Zenit-3SL. Land Launch's Zenit-3SLB vehicle addresses the launch needs of commercial satellites weighing up to three-and-a-half metric tonnes. The two-stage Zenit-2SLB is also available for lifting payloads up to thirteen metric tonnes to inclined low Earth orbits.

The Land Launch configurations are closely derived from the Sea Launch system. In particular, propulsion systems and all flight critical avionics are unchanged. The fairings represent the most significance difference. In place of the Boeing-made fairing used on Sea Launch, the Zenit-3SLB adopts a 4-meter fairing made by NPO Lavochkin. It is in current production and has been flight-proven with the Block DM. The Zenit-2SLB fairing is an improved version of the heritage Zenit-2 fairing. Detailed descriptions of the Land Launch configurations, interfaces, satellite environments and operations are provided in the Land Launch User's Guide.

Land Launch uses longstanding facilities at the Baikonur Space Center in Kazakhstan, including:

• Yubileiny Airport - Satellite and equipment delivery
• Area 31 - Payload Processing and encapsulation
• Area 42 - Launch vehicle integration
• Area 45 - Zenit launch complex

These facilities are currently in use. Some thirty-six Zenit vehicles have been processed in Area 42 and launched from Area 45. Numerous Western satellites have been delivered through Yubileiny and processed in Area 31. Hotels are available in Baikonur City and on base in close proximity to the working areas. Land Launch facilities are further described in the Land Launch User's Guide.
