"Roskosmos" called for speeding up work on the creation of engines on methane

This is stated on the state corporation's Twitter page.

“Following the results of the meeting in Voronezh, Dmitry Rogozin, the team of the Khimavtomatiki Design Bureau set the task of speeding up work on the creation of a new generation of rocket engines using hydrogen and methane. The goal is to develop the Angara A5V heavy-duty rocket no later than 2025, the statement said.

It is clarified that work is simultaneously unfolding on a new commercial middle-class missile with a methane engine, which will replace the legendary Soyuz-2 missiles.

Earlier, the general director of NPO Energomash Igor Arbuzov said that the first launch of the Angara-A5 heavy-class launch vehicle with a modified RD-191 engine will take place in 2023.
