Serial rocket engines RD-107A and RD-108A, manufactured by the Samara enterprise ODK-Kuznetsov (part of the United Engine Corporation of the Rostec State Corporation), ensured the regular operation of the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle during the launch of the Progress MS-32 transport spacecraft. On board the space truck there are about 2.5 tons of payload for life support of the International Space Station crew.
The rocket launch took place on September 11 at 18:54 Moscow time from launch site No. 31 of the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The RD-107A/RD-108A engines installed on the first and second stages worked in full accordance with the flight program.
The Progress MS-32 spacecraft, which is carrying out the 93rd ISS supply mission, will deliver stowage for scientific experiments, food, clothing, medical supplies, drinking water, fuel and nitrogen to maintain the atmosphere. Among the cargo is a new Orlan-MKS No. 7 spacesuit for cosmonauts to go into outer space.
The RD-107/RD-108 family of rocket engines has remained the basis of Soyuz launch vehicles since Yuri Gagarin's first flight. Their reliability has been confirmed by more than 2,000 successful launches. Today, ODK-Kuznetsov occupies over 80% of the Russian rocket engine market, and its share for manned launches is 100%.
The company has produced over 12 thousand serial power plants, and the statistical reliability of engines reaches 99.9%.
