2. RP-1 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RP-1

   Liquid-fueled rockets that use RP-1 as fuel are known as kerolox rockets. In their engines, RP-1 is atomized, mixed with liquid oxygen (LOX), and ignited to produce thrust. Developed in the 1950s, RP-1 is outwardly similar to other kerosene-based fuels like Jet A and JP-8 used in turbine engines but is manufactured to stricter standards. While ...

4. SpaceX Merlin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Merlin

   They are currently a part of the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launch vehicles, and were formerly used on the Falcon 1. Merlin engines use RP-1 and liquid oxygen as rocket propellants in a gas-generator power cycle. The Merlin engine was originally designed for sea recovery and reuse, but since 2016 the entire Falcon 9 booster is recovered for ...

5. SpaceX rocket engines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_rocket_engines

   Merlin 1 is a family of LOX/RP-1 rocket engines developed 2003–2012. Merlin 1A and Merlin 1B utilized an ablatively-cooled carbon-fiber composite nozzle. Merlin 1A produced 340 kilonewtons (76,000 lb f ) of thrust and was used to power the first stage of the first two Falcon 1 flights in 2006 and 2007.

6. Rutherford (rocket engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutherford_(rocket_engine)

   Rutherford is a liquid-propellant rocket engine designed by aerospace company Rocket Lab [8] and manufactured in Long Beach, California. [9] The engine is used on the company's own rocket, Electron. It uses LOX (liquid oxygen) and RP-1 (refined kerosene) as its propellants and is the first flight-ready engine to use the electric-pump-fed cycle.

7. Aerojet LR87 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerojet_LR87

   Used on the Titan I, the LR87-3 burned liquid oxygen and RP-1. [4] Following the retirement of the Titan missile program, these engines saw no further use. [citation needed] The LR87-3 was also operated with NTO/Aerozine 50 and ground tested with LOX/H2 (with a new fuel pump), making it one of very few engines to have been run on three different propellant combinations.

8. RD-180 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RD-180

   The RD-180 is fueled by an RP-1/LOX mixture and uses an extremely efficient, high-pressure staged combustion cycle. The engine runs with an oxidizer-to-fuel ratio of 2.72 and employs an oxygen-rich preburner, unlike typical fuel-rich US designs.

9. YF-102 (rocket engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YF-102_(rocket_engine)

   Tianlong-2 is a medium-sized, 3-stage rocket powered by RP-1 and liquid oxygen, with a payload capability of 2 tonnes to LEO and 1.5 tonnes to SSO. [6] Each of the stages of the Tianlong-2 rocket is equipped with a YF-102 gas generator engine, which develops 85 tons of thrust. [7] The three first-stage YF-102 were arranged in a triangular ...
