About
The RD-182 (120M) is a liquid-propellant rocket engine with afterburning of oxidizing gas, specifically designed for the first stages of promising Russian and foreign launch vehicles. It is a terrestrial modification of the RD120MS engine, featuring a short nozzle. The engine utilizes oxygen and kerosene as propellants. Its development period spanned from 2019 to 2022. The RD-182 incorporates a number of new technologies in its design. It offers thrust vector control through camera swing in two planes, with a control range of 6 degrees, and a thrust range from 50% to 100%. The product was released in 2022, but currently does not have flight qualification. While the product is not flight-qualified, the manufacturer states that adaptation to customer requirements is not possible.
