US$1b deal for rocket engines
Print Edition
A Russian manufacturer yesterday unveiled a US$1 billion deal to supply engines for the US Antares rockets making deliveries to the International Space Station.
Russian producer Energia said in a statement that it had signed the deal to build 60 engines with private US firm Orbital Science, which has a US$1.9 billion contract with NASA to supply the space station.
Deliveries of the new RD-181 engines would start in June, the statement said.
The deal comes after an Orbital Science rocket suffered a catastrophic engine failure in October, forcing an end to its supply missions until further notice.
The firm pledged a speedy upgrade to its systems.
