RD-181 engines

The Russian government has given the green light to negotiations with the US-based company Orbital Sciences LLC on sales of Russia’s RD-181 rocket engines, according to a decree signed by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and posted on Russia’s official web portal of legislative information on Friday.

The decree accepts a proposal by Russia’s state-run space corporation Roscosmos "to hold negotiations between NPO Energomash named after Academician V P Glushko and Orbital Sciences LLC (United States of America) to sign a contract on using the RD181M liquid-fuel rocket engine in the Antares rocket, to deliver cargo to the International Space Station and to launch research and commercial spacecraft."

Signing a contract will be possible if all intellectual property issues are settled with the participation of the Russian Defense Ministry and Roscosmos.

Also, the US partner must guarantee that Antares rockets powered by Russian-made engines will not be used for launches of defense and military spacecraft.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
