Not economically. That would tale a BIG strap-on booster to accelerate that hundred-ton thing by at least two extra miles per second. Apollo-scale stuff. It would take only a small nudge (in relative terms) to put it in, say, a 1000-mile earth orbit where it'll be secure for centuries. But the price tag for even that, with off-the-shelf hardware (gotta by Russian on account of it's all metric, lol) is north of a hundred million.
