'''Site 200''' at the [[Baikonur Cosmodrome]] is a launch site used by [[Proton (rocket family)|Proton rockets]]. It consists of two launch pads, areas 39 and 40. Area 39 is currently used for [[Proton-M]] launches, including commercial flights conducted by [[International Launch Services]]. Area 40 is currently inactive, as it was slated to be rebuilt as a launch site for the [[Angara (rocket family)|Angara rocket]]. Although the project was relocated to Site 250, Area 40 was not put back into service.

A number of planetary probes have been launched from Site 200. [[Venera 14]], [[Venera 15]], [[Vega 1]], [[Fobos 1]], the failed [[Mars-96]] and [[ExoMars]] were launched from area 39. [[Venera 13]], [[Venera 16]], [[Vega 2]], [[Fobos 2]] were launched from Area 40. Area 39 was also the launch site for the [[Mir Core Module|core]] of the [[Mir]] [[space station]], along with both [[Kvant-1|Kvant]] modules, and the [[Kristall]] module. [[Salyut 7]] and [[Granat]] were launched from Area 40.
