-
A.
Raptor engine
The Raptor engine is SpaceX’s next-generation full-flow staged combustion methane-fueled rocket engine designed to power the Starship launch system.
-
B.
Rutherford engine
The Rutherford engine is a small, electric-pump-fed liquid rocket engine developed by Rocket Lab for its Electron launch vehicle, notable for being 3D-printed and highly efficient for small-satellite launches.
-
C.
NK-33 engine
The NK-33 engine is a Soviet-era high-performance liquid-fuel rocket engine originally developed for the N1 lunar rocket program, known for its efficiency and thrust-to-weight ratio.
-
D.
BE-7 engine
The BE-7 engine is Blue Origin’s high-performance liquid hydrogen–liquid oxygen rocket engine designed primarily to power lunar landers such as the company’s Blue Moon vehicle.
-
E.
RS-68 engine
The RS-68 engine is a powerful liquid-fueled rocket engine used primarily on the Delta IV launch vehicle, known for its high thrust and simplified design for cost-effective heavy-lift missions.
