Abstract Advanced liquid rocket engines (LREs) are being created by Yuzhnoye Design Office of Ukraine based on the fifty-year experience of rocket engines' and propulsion systems' development. These LREs use both hypergolic (NTO+UDMH) and cryogenic (liquid oxygen+kerosene) propellants. First stage engines have a range of thrust from 40 to 250 t, while the upper stage (used in space) engines - from several kilograms to 50 t and a re-ignition feature. The engines are intended for both Ukraine”s independent access to space and international market.
Highlights Advanced liquid rocket engines being created by Yuzhnoye of Ukraine are presented. The engines use hypergolic (NTO+UDMH) and cryogenic (LOX/kerosene) propellants. 1st stage engines thrust: 40 t to 250 t, upper stage: few kg to 50 t, re-ignitable. Upper stage engines could efficiently serve deep space exploration programs. Yuzhnoye rich experience allows to substantially reduce development costs.
