Russian rocket producer Energiya has signed a $1 billion contract with the private US Orbital Sciences Corporation for the delivery of 60 RD-181 engines. Orbital said in December that they looked at several other propulsion providers, but decided to use the RD-181 engines because the Russia-designed engine offered the best combination of schedule availability, technical performance and cost parameters as compared to other possible options. #RD181 #Antares
