- Abstract
The general information on status of development of newest oxygen-kerosene liquid rocket engine for first stage of family of "Angara" launch-vehicles is presented in the report. Uniqueness of schematic and design solutions allows to create the universal engine for application in structure of lateral and central blocks of "Angara" launch-vehicle, not depending on essential differences of technical requirements to operational modes. The general characteristic of engine, pneumahydraulic and design schemes are presented. The bases of newest methodical approaches, allowing to create new LPRE on basis of use of aggregates and engineering solutions certificated for developed engine-prototype, in a combination to development of advanced design and technological solutions, are stated. The comparative picture illustrating advancing rates of engine development in accordance with all requirements of technical project is presented. The integrated analysis of received results of autonomous tests of main units, as well as fire tests of experimental engines is presented, the characteristic of program of experimental development of engine is given, current status of its fulfilment is estimated, forecast of further course of development of engine is given in report. Versions of use of given engine in other perspective projects of modernization of existing and new space transportation systems are considered. Possibility of using of given engine as the prototype for creation in future of reusable engine for some advance reusable space transportation systems is considered in addition.
