Description: METAL TAG REMOVED FROM ENERGIA RD-0120BURAN SPACE SHUTTLE Energia rocket metal round shape tag size 2” in diameter was removed from Soviet RD-0120 core rocket engine before the launch of Space Shuttle Buran. The metal round shape tag is size 2” Extremely rare survival artifact. Placed in 3D display, size 5.1/4” x5.1/4”. The unique and rare artifact. Some information:The Soviet RD-0120 (also designated 11D122) was the Energia core rocket engine, fuelled by LH2/LOX roughly equivalent to Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME). These were attached to the Energia core rather than the orbiter, so were not recoverable after a flight, but created a more modular design (the Energia core could be used for a variety of missions besides launching the shuttle). The RD-0120 and the SSME have both similarities and differences. The RD-0120 achieved a slightly higher specific impulse and combustion chamber pressure with reduced complexity and cost (but it was single-use), as compared to the SSME. It uses a fuel-rich staged combustion cycle and a single shaft to drive both the fuel and oxidizer turbo pumps. Some of the Russian design features, such as the simpler and cheaper channel wall nozzles, were evaluated by Rocketdyne for possible upgrades to the SSME. It achieved combustion stability without the acoustic resonance chambers that the SSME required. We will provide you with combine shipping cost for multiple purchases. Please ask.Happy Collecting!
