RD-0110R


The RD-0110R was a rocket engine burning kerosene in liquid oxygen in a gas generator combustion cycle. It had four nozzles that can gimbal up to 45 degrees in a single axis and was used as the vernier thruster on the Soyuz-2.1v first stage. It also had heat exchangers that heat oxygen and helium to pressurize the LOX and RG-1 tanks of the Soyuz-2.1v first stage, respectively. The oxygen was supplied from the same LOX tank in liquid form, while the helium was supplied from separate high pressure bottles.
The engine's development started in 2010 and it is a heavily modified version of the RD-0110. The main areas of work were shortening the nozzles to optimize them for the atmospheric part of the flight, propellant piping, heat exchangers and the gimballing system, which was developed by RKTs Progress. The RD-0110R engine was produced at the Voronezh Mechanical Plant.
