RD-0410
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RD-0410 (РД-0410, GRAU index: 11B91) was a Soviet nuclear thermal rocket engine developed from 1965 through the 1980s using liquid hydrogen propellant.[1] The engine was ground-tested at the Semipalatinsk Test Site,[2] and its use was incorporated in the Kurchatov Mars 1994 manned mission proposal.[1]
The hydrogen boost turbopump was designed by KBKhA.[3]
