The Tsyklon (Циклон Cyclone also known as Tsiklon) GRAU index 11K67 was a Soviet-designed expendable launch system primarily used to put Cosmos satellites into low Earth orbit. It is based on the R-36 intercontinental ballistic missile designed by Mikhail Yangel and made eight launches with seven successes and one failure. All of its launches were conducted from LC-90 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. It is sometimes designated Tsyklon-2A not to be confused with the later Tsyklon-2 rocket.
