The '''Briz-K''', '''Briz-KM''' and '''Briz-M''' ({{lang-ru|Бриз-К, КM and M}} meaning ''Breeze-K, KM and M'') are Russian [[Engineering:Liquid-propellant rocket|liquid-propellant rocket]] [[Engineering:Orbit insertion|orbit insertion]] upper stages manufactured by [[Company:Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center|Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center]] and used on the [[Engineering:Proton-M|Proton-M]] and [[Engineering:Angara A5|Angara A5]]. The upper stages were also used on [[Engineering:Rokot|Rokot]], one of Russia's smaller launchers, before its retirement in 2019.

== Characteristics ==

=== Briz-K and Briz-KM ===
Briz-K, GRAU index 14S12, is a single-piece structure with a conical tank compartment and the engine located in a recess in the fuel tank. Briz-KM (GRAU index 14S45) is an improved version of Briz-K.<ref name="briz-km">{{cite web|title=Briz space tug family|url=https://www.russianspaceweb.com/briz.html|date=March 18, 2021|website=russianspaceweb.com|access-date=April 5, 2023}}</ref> The Briz-K and Briz-KM were used as a third stage of the [[Engineering:Rokot|Rokot]] launch vehicles.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n0805/23rockot/ |title=Russia launches relay craft, commemorative satellite |publisher=Spaceflight Now}}</ref>

=== Briz-M ===
Briz-M, GRAU index 14S43, is designed for injecting large payloads into a low, medium-height or high [[Astronomy:Geosynchronous orbit|geosynchronous orbit]].<ref name="briz-m" /> Briz-M is a twin upper stage consisting of a core module (using Briz-KM as the baseline) and a jettisonable add-on toroidal tank surrounding the core.<ref name="briz-m"/> It is powered by a [[Engineering:Pump-fed engine|pump-fed]] gimballed main engine, the 14D30.<ref name="ils">[http://www.ilslaunch.com/launch-services/ils-proton-breeze-m-launch-vehicle Proton/Breeze-M] International Launch Services, retrieved on 23 March 2009</ref> The main engine can be restarted 8 times in flight and allows precision placement of the spacecraft into orbit.<ref name="ilsguide">{{cite web |url=https://mk0ilslaunchupbj5chy.kinstacdn.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/PMPG%20Section%20A.pdf |title=Proton Launch System Mission Planner's Guide |publisher=International Launch Services.}}</ref> Orbital lifetime of the Briz-M is limited by available onboard battery power and is currently 24 hours.<ref name="ilsguide"/> The total time of the standard Proton/Briz-M mission to geosynchronous orbit profile from lift-off to spacecraft separation is approximately 9.3 hours.<ref name="ilsguide"/> A Proton launch vehicle with a Briz-M upper stage can also inject payloads to Earth escape trajectories.<ref name="ilsguide"/>

One of system's design goals has been to keep overall dimensions as small as possible. Briz-M takes much less space on board the launch vehicle compared to its predecessor, the Block D upper stage, leaving freed volume for the cargo.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.russianspaceweb.com/proton.html|title=Proton rocket}}</ref> A Proton with a Briz-M can place a 4,385&nbsp;kg satellite, such as an [[Astronomy:A2100AX|A2100AX]], into a target orbit with an apogee of 35,786&nbsp;km, a perigee of 7,030&nbsp;km, and an inclination of 17.3°.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://coopi.khrunichev.ru/2007/sirius/images/orbit.jpg | title = orbit.jpg | publisher = Khrunichev | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080216094213/http://coopi.khrunichev.ru/2007/sirius/images/orbit.jpg | archive-date = 16 February 2008 | df = dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://coopi.khrunichev.ru/eng/pl_pusk.htm | title = Breeze-M Powered Flight | publisher = Khrunichev | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071202001035/http://coopi.khrunichev.ru/eng/pl_pusk.htm | archive-date = 2 December 2007 | df = dmy-all }}</ref> Maximum lift capability of the Briz-M stage is 5,645&nbsp;kg to geosynchronous transfer orbit with a 1,500&nbsp;m/s residual velocity to GSO.<ref name="ils"/> A tandem launch of multiple spacecraft is also supported, with the ability to inject the spacecraft into different orbits.<ref name="ils"/>

== History ==

The maiden flight of Briz-M took place on 5 July 1999. The flight was a failure, due to the explosion of the carrier rocket's second stage. The flight had a communications satellite as a payload.

Briz-M completed its first successful flight on 6the June 2000, when it delivered the [[Engineering:Gorizont|Gorizont]] communications satellite into orbit.

It is planned to use Briz-M with the A3 and A5 versions of the future [[Engineering:Angara (rocket family)|Angara rocket family]].<ref name="briz-m"/>
