R7 intercontinental missile

Although R-7 (NATO code ss-6 "baton") designed by Korolev has the honor of being the first intercontinental ballistic missile in the world, it has no use value in fact; R-7 uses non storable low-temperature propellant (liquid oxygen), which can only be filled before launching, and because of its huge volume, it can only be launched from the ground with a launching rack, resulting in extremely rapid response and survivability of the missile Low. The Soviet government took note of this problem and only made a symbolic deployment of the R-7. The main role of the R-7 was to publicize weapons and space vehicles (a huge rocket family derived from the R-7, including the satellite, the Orient, the Soyuz and the Blitz). The carrier rocket modified by R7 launched the first man-made satellite into the sky. To a large extent, R7 is only acting as the world's first ICBM by the way, and its real purpose is aerospace.
