Product Name: RL10 Engine
Manufacturer Name: L3Harris Technologies
Product Description: The RL10 Engine, developed by L3Harris, has been a cornerstone of space exploration for over six decades, successfully launching hundreds of military, government, and commercial spacecraft into orbit and beyond. This innovative engine has played a crucial role in missions to every planet in our solar system, including the historic Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 missions that ventured into interstellar space. Renowned as the launch industry’s “workhorse,” various RL10 variants power the upper stages of United Launch Alliance’s Atlas V and Delta IV Heavy rockets, as well as NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, which aims to carry astronauts to deep-space destinations. The RL10’s legacy continues with the development of the RL10C-X, a modern iteration that utilizes advanced 3D printing technology to enhance manufacturing efficiency while ensuring exceptional performance and reliability.
