Is there a translation for the specs. on this graphic for the Corona?

The size of an R-7 strap-on?

 

[Rhinocrates]

The size of an R-7 strap-on?

My very poor reading:

Height with legs, 33.9 m

Height with legs retracted, 30.5 m

Maximum diameter, 10 m

Weight at launch, 270-290 t

Payload 6-7 t?

...um, that's it.
