The RD-191 (Russian: Ракетный Двигатель-191, romanized: Raketnyy Dvigatel-191, lit. 'Rocket Engine 191') is a high-performance single-combustion chamber rocket engine, developed in Russia and sold by Roscosmos. [3]

Russia's newest rocket engine will power an American space launcher, the two sides agreed. In January 2015, the Russian rocket industry struck a deal with a US company to supply a modified version of the RD-191 engine for the US Antares rocket.

Jul 8, 2024 · Testing of RD-191M finalisation engines has been successfully completed at NPO Energomash’s research and test facility. The single-chamber liquid-propellant engine is designed for the Angara-A5M heavy-lift launch vehicle of the Amur space rocket system.

Glushko LOx/Kerosene rocket engine. Proposed for stage 1 of Angara. Single chamber from 4-chamber RD-170 would have been cheap and fast to develop. Only reached the draft project stage by 2003. Gimbaling +/- 8 degree in two planes. AKA: RD-191M. Status: In development. Date: 1996-. Number: 132 . Thrust: 2,079.00 kN (467,377 lbf).

The RD-191 is a single-chamber version used in the Russian Angara rocket. [11] Variants of RD-191 include RD-151 in South Korean Naro-1 rocket, [12] RD-181 in American Orbital ATK Antares rocket, and the proposed RD-193 for the Soyuz-2-1v project. [13]

Apr 11, 2023 · With the Ukraine war putting an end to exports of a widely-used Russian rocket engine to the western market, Russian state space corporation Roscosmos is planning to sell RD-191 engines to India.

The RD-191 is a liquid fuel rocket engine developed by Energomash between 1999 and 2008 for the Angara family of space launch vehicles and Baikal reusable booster. Its design is based on the RD-170/171 engines developed to power Energia and Zenit rockets.

Apr 12, 2023 · The 'RD-191' is a high-performance rocket engine fuelled by kerosene and liquid oxygen. It falls under the category semi-cryogenic, as its fuel kerosene can be stored at room temperature and the oxidiser liquid oxygen has to be stored at super-cooled temperatures (below -150 degrees Centigrade).

• The RD-181 engine, manufactured by NPO Energomash, is used by Orbital Sciences Corporation to power its Antares rocket on resupply missions to the International Space Station.
