The Rus jet engine for space rockets has been tested in Voronezh. The test approximated to real conditions. The result was an excellent one.
The engine will be able to orbit greater payloads than similar current models, which is among the most important attributes in the space industry. The engine is also, still, among the best in the world as regards its fuel economy.
The first rocket to be equipped with this new engine will fly into space in the very near future.
