A new liquid rocket engine with a thrust of 13.3 N (1.36 kgf) has been created at JSC "NIIMash" (part of Roscosmos State Corporation). This was reported in the press service of the manufacturer.
The main feature of the device is the use of heat-resistant materials in the combustion chamber and nozzle. This increases the engine's service life and reliability.
The engine runs on hypergolic self-igniting fuel components and is designed to generate precise thrust impulses required for maneuvering and correcting the orbit of spacecraft.
The new small thrust liquid rocket engine (LRESTE) has confirmed the high efficiency and stability of its characteristics during a long firing life.
The new engine is planned to be used in advanced spacecraft designed for deep space exploration. This will be another step in the development of domestic rocket engine construction and astronautics.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that Roscosmos continues to work on the creation of the RD-0177M engine for the Amur-SPG rocket.
