Voronezh completed a test cycle for the RD-

0124MS engine chamber

The Voronezh rocket engine building center (part of the integrated rocket engine building
structure, headed by the Scientific and Production Association "Energomash" named after
academician V.P. Glushko of the State Corporation "Roscosmos") has successfully completed a
cycle of fire tests of the standard chamber of the liquid propellant rocket engine RD-0124MS,
created at the enterprise for use in the second stage of the promising domestic carrier rocket
"Soyuz-5".
The tests carried out have confirmed the operability and characteristics of the camera
in the modes specified in the terms of reference. This allows the enterprise to proceed to
the following steps: testing the engine chamber with a high-altitude nozzle in high-altitude
conditions, as well as the manufacture of finishing engines for ground fire testing.
The rocket engine RD-0124MS with a thrust in the void of 60 tons runs on the propellant
components "liquid oxygen + naphthyl" and is intended for use in the second stage of the
Soyuz-5 launch vehicle. It consists of two blocks located on a common frame, and each of the
blocks includes two chambers. The engine provides rocking of the chambers in two planes, as
well as operation when one of the units is turned off, including at a reduced thrust mode.
