MOSCOW, January 28. /TASS/. The RD-171MV and RD-191 rocket engines for the Soyuz and Angara carriers have successfully passed fire tests. This was reported on Thursday in the press service of the NGO "Energomash".
"Fire tests of the RD-171MV liquid-propellant rocket engine designed for the Soyuz-5 rocket were conducted at the NPO Energomash scientific and test complex," the report says.

This engine with afterburning of oxidative gas is designed for the family of domestic launch vehicles "Angara". The design of the product is based on the design of the RD-170/171 engines.
