The rocket was shaped as a cone 24 meters tall and 2.74 meters in diameter. The weight of the rocket structure (empty weight) was about 7 tons including the warhead of the assigned weight. A fully fueled rocket would weigh 70.85 tons on the launch pad. Lack of any aerodynamic surfaces in the design helped reduce the mass ratio to only 0.1. Similarly to the R-10, thin pressurized propellant tanks made of stainless steel were part of the rocket's external structure; and, again, plywood was proposed for thermal protection of the warhead.
