Succeeds In Engine Test Fire

January 29, 2005 Global automotive technology developer Prodrive has developed an exciting vehicle concept that can best be described as a four wheel motorcycle. In motor vehicles having the engine arranged in the rear vehicle portion, naro engine a radiator, arranged in the front portion of the vehicle, is used when water-cooled engines are employed; the accommodation of the radiator being the same as where an engine is provided in the front part of the vehicle.
16, 2015, RKK Energia, parent company of NPO Energomash, announced that it had reached an agreement with the American company Orbital Sciences Corporation, OSC, on the export of RD-181 engines for the first stage of the Antares rocket, thus replacing the NK-33 engines previously used on the launcher.

SEOUL, Sept 16 (Yonhap) - South Korea plans to conduct the first test flight of its locally developed booster engine at the end of next month, the ICT ministry said Sunday, as part of a long-term effort to produce the Korea Space Launch Vehicle-2 (KSLV-2), a three-stage rocket.
South Korea on Wednesday successfully conducted a rocket engine test launch, officials said, paving the way for the development of its own space launch vehicle. This is a significant step forward in developing a launch vehicle with our own technology,” a KARI spokesman said.
The production of these new engines was launched in 2001, and the first Czech-made model to be fitted with this unit was the ŠKODA FABIA in 2003. In 2013, after the culmination of years of hard work, innovation, and the contribution of Hanwha's advanced technology - the ‘Naro-1 (KSLV-I) - Korea's first space launch vehicle, successfully launched a satellite into space.

The single-stage rocket with a 75-ton thrust engine will be launched between October 25 and 31 at the Naro Space Center in Goheung, according to the Ministry of Science and ICT. The rocket, weighing 52 tonnes and measuring 25.8m long, was fitted with a single engine with 75-tonne thrust, the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (Kari) said.
Donga Science reported Wednesday South Korean analysts said the test flight was smooth and marks a turning point for South Korea's space policy. And as Hanwha continues to reach for the stars, its cutting-edge technology will not only be the driving force behind S. Korea's aerospace program but also for the global aerospace industry in the future.
South Korea wants to narrow the gap, and space development is key to this. During the combustion test, all the components of the engines such as the turbopumps, burners and gas generators are to be checked. Currently, only six countries — the United States, Russia, France (the EU), Japan, China and India — possess the technology for the development of such space vehicles, the ministry said.
