The developer called the completion date for the creation of the first oxygen-methane engine RD-0177 for the Amur-SPG rocket

Russia continues to develop space engines, the first oxygen-methane engine RD-0177 will appear by the end of this year. This was stated by the director of JSC "Design Bureau of Chemical Automation" Sergey Kovalev.

The new engine with a thrust of 100 tons is designed for the promising Amur-SPG launch vehicle with a returnable first stage. In metal, an oxygen-methane engine will appear at the end of 2023, then fire tests will follow, the developers plan to complete the work in 2025.

Today we are creating a fundamentally new engine with a thrust of 100 tons. This is our new development. The first engine should appear at the end of this year, then go through a cycle of fire tests. All work should be completed by the end of 2025

- said Kovalev.

In 2020, Roscosmos announced a competition for the creation of a two-stage medium-class rocket "Amur" with a returnable first stage, equipped with an engine running on oxygen and liquefied natural gas (methane). It is assumed that the rocket will be used from the Vostochny cosmodrome and launch 9,5 tons into low Earth orbit with the reusable use of the first stage and 12 tons - with a single use; steps. As previously stated in Roskosmos, it will be possible to use the first stage at least 2,5 times.

The Amur-LNG rocket is being developed by the RCC Progress under a contract signed with Roscosmos. The technical design, which started in 2022, should be completed in 2024.

this is how I like it more - less often, but with meaning
and let Rogozin continue to inspect something in front of the camera in different dresses and with different pestles for the fans in the cart

to all Kiss fans! :*

Rogozin was exclusively engaged in trampolines ... but he had one undeniable and rare (perhaps even unique) achievement: having no technical education, he managed to defend his doctoral dissertation in technical sciences! Our genius! But the position of the Higher Attestation Commission directly prohibits conferring even at least the degree of candidate of technical sciences to people who do not have a higher technical education!

As long as you are in power, everything is possible and accessible to you.

It was Rogozin who initiated the creation of the Amur-SPG rocket. Including the RD-0169 engine for it. The RD-0177 engine is a prototype for finishing tests.

Yes, yes, only with his education he could not INITIATE, he could only APPROVE someone's initiative. And he might not approve. Personally, he is hardly capable of more than painting Gzhel missiles and sprinkling them with holy water.

In pursuit of Herod Mask, catch up and overtake. As a rule, all terms are laudatory, then, as a rule, everything is postponed for two years, then another. It has always been like this if there is no demand.

Yes, no one is chasing anyone. We are now successfully launching Soyuz-2, which is one of the leaders in terms of low launch cost per kg:



In a couple of weeks there will be 43 satellites in one launch. Moreover, some of them are already mass-produced small spacecraft of domestic production.

couch critics are inaccessible to the knowledge of the subject, the masses simply do not understand what is worth, respectively, they cannot evaluate different development strategies, not to mention tactics. And the budgets are also inaccessible to them in comparison. And the fact that the Russian Federation is pursuing an independent policy of developing its own industry does not reach them in any way.
We keep in mind that among 100% of comments, only 20% belong to citizens not on a salary, and among them they are qualified to have independent judgments .. (all according to the Constitution, but it would be better if they did this, and did not rotate with the wind of change).
