LR105

The LR105 is a liquid-fuel rocket engine that served as the sustainer engine for the Atlas rocket family. Developed by Rocketdyne in 1957 as the S-4, it is called a sustainer engine because it continues firing after the LR89 booster engines have been jettisoned, providing thrust during the ascent phase.
