RS-68 engine

The RS-68 is a powerful rocket engine used to propel satellites and space vehicles into orbit. It operates by combusting liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to produce a high-speed stream of hot gases that generate thrust, pushing the rocket upward. Developed by Aerojet Rocketdyne, it is known for its efficiency and reliability, making it suitable for large-scale space launches. The RS-68 is designed to provide a strong, consistent push needed to lift heavy payloads from Earth’s surface into space, supporting various commercial and scientific missions.
