Sergei P. Korolev, studied at the Kiev Polytechnic Institute. He co-founded GIRD and did trials with liquid rocket engines as early as in 1933.

“S. Korolev”

Korolev was the Head of the Rocket Designers Council when it was founded in 1946. This council was founded with the intention to take over the V-2 production from the Germans in the USSR, making use of the material and V-2s that were brought in.

-He founded OKB-1 and gathered people around him as interesting as Glushko, Kuznetsov and others. From them came the R-1 or the famous R-7 intercontinental missiles that put into orbit the first Earth satellite, the Sputnik, in 1957.

-One of his collaborators was Yangel, to whom he passed projects to be developed. Another collaborator named Kosberg made another important line of engines. (see both).

-Thanks to Korolev there was the first closed-circuit liquid rocket engine, with 7-ton of thrust that was installed on the Booster L of the Molniya four-stage launch vehicle.

“L booster engine” (PiP)

-He was in projects such as Luna 1, 2 and 3, the N-1 launch vehicle and in many military ICBM projects of intercontinental missiles. And in the main Soviet space projects (R-7, Blok, Proton, Buran, etc.) until his death in 1966.

-The S1.35800 engines for the R-7 were manufactured between 1954 and 1957 using LOX-kerosene.

-The S1.5400 had the official designation 11D33 and was manufactured from 1958 to 1988. There were different versions and fuels with LOX as oxidizer.

-The 8D726 (1962-65) was intended for the GR-1 vehicle's third stage.

-The 11D58 engines are for the Proton and some Bolk. There are variants with LOX and RG-1, LOX and kerosene, LOX and Sintin. (RD-58).

“Korolev 1D58M” (PiP)

-The 11D121 delivered 7 tons of vacuum thrust. The 17D11, D12 and D13 were built between 1976 and 1988 and delivered 7-8 tons of thrust. The 17D15 was a tall engine for the Buran, with 0.375 Ton. using LOX-Sintin.

-The YaRD and YaERD are nuclear rocket engines. The YaERD-2200 from 1962-69 used LH2 and gave 8,300 Kgf.

-There were several versions of the YaRD, such as Type A with 18,000 Kgf. for ICBM.

-The YaRD AF gave 20,000 Kgf for 700 seconds, and was from the year 1963.

-The Type V and V-B delivered 40 tons of thrust.

-With these engines Glushko and Bondariuk intervened in later developments.

-The collaboration between the members of the group was constant, so Korolev collaborated with Glushko on his RD-1KhZ, bifuel 300, mounted on the Su-7. It ran for 4 minutes.

-The Type V and V-B delivered 40 tons of thrust.
