Glushko LOx/Kerosene rocket engine. Design 1974. Proposed engines for the RLA series launch vehicles. This version would use four chambers. 'Down-sized' to 200 metric tons thrust for Energia.

In 1972 to 1974 Glushko proposed lox/kerosene engines for the RLA series launch vehicles and the UR-700M Mars booster with a lift-off thrust of 300 metric tons per chamber. The RLA version would use four chambers for a total thrust of 1200 metric tons. Following rejection of the RLA and the adoption of the Energia design, this chamber design was 'down-sized' to 200 metric tons thrust for Energia.

Chambers: 4.
