    Hello Rui,
    
    As far as I can recollect from earlier launches, the objects of a Proton
    launch are as follows.
    
    2003-15B is the 3rd stage of the  Proton
    2003-15C is a sort of interstage between the 3rd and 4th stage; often called
    4th stage casing
    2003-15D and E are Ullage motors assisting the 4th stage
    2003-15F is the Proton 4th stage, the Block DM-2M
    
    Hope this helps
    
    Greetings
    Leo
