Zvezda/International Space Station, 2000, Liquid Fuel Engine (11x4.75") This orientation engine was part of Zvezda ("Star"), the Russian module that was their principal contribution to the ISS. The module was designed to be the core module of the ISS and provide living quarters and life support to the crew.

Originally designed for the MIR-2 space station, the engine was amalgamated into the ISS after the MIR-2 project was cancelled.

This engine (#11D428A) was used as a part of the united engine installation assembly and has a thrust of 13.3kg for the channels of pitch, yaw and roll. It is in excellent condition with a movable mount extending over the beta cloth covered nozzle and yellow foam core insulation over the fuel valve assembly. This is the first engine of any type we have seen from the ISS.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 5,000.

 
Realized $6,038
