Abstract

It is proposed to use the chamber body of the 15D117 liquid propellant rocket engine for development of a new oxygen-kerosene RD-120U engine intended for the first stages of the “Quantum”, “Edinstvo” and “Onega” launchers. The 15D117 engines are released because of the Russian Federation international obligations in the field of arms reduction. Such approach allows to reduce essentially development period and expences for the for the RD-120U engine.
