An analysis of failed Russian space launches is carried out in this article. The authors have reviewed the statistics for the period from 2004 to 2014. Under unsuccessful launches the authors understood launches during which there were adverse events that caused partial or complete failure of the planned activities, damage or loss of the spacecraft, as well as damage to third parties. 19 failed launches are identified in the period. The characteristic nature of the event of the failure, and consequences damage to each of them are given. Failed launches in the context used rockets and boosters have been analyzed. There was a significant influence on the successful launch of the human factor and the level of technical control of production. The classifications of space project risks are given. The categories of criticality risk manifestation space project are defined. The correspondence between entailed negative deviations and groups of space projects risk and category criticality risk manifestation is revealed. On the basis of the study the predominance of technical group of risk as a source of reasons for the failure is revealed. The second by expression is human group of risks. The analysis showed that human risks are more critical to project the consequences of that due to the specific space projects. The need to review management processes in the implementation of space projects, including the risk management system is suggested. The solution of the problem lies in improving the organization of space activities on the basis of project management methods.
