The Russian news agency TASS reported on July 8 that the core engine RD-191M of the next-generation launch vehicle "Angara-A5M," which Russia will use to build its own space station, has successfully undergone technical testing.
This test was conducted for the second time following the first one in April, although specific details of the test were not disclosed.
The RD-191M engine is an upgraded version of the existing RD-191 engine, with thrust improved by 10% over the original model. It was first produced at the end of 2023.
This engine is set to be mounted on the Angara-A5M rocket, which will launch modules for the Russian space station.
The Angara-A5M rocket is scheduled for its first launch from the Vostochny Cosmodrome in 2027 and is planned to be used for manned missions in 2028.
The RD-191M engine was developed based on the technology of the RD-170 engine used in the Energia rocket of the 1980s.
