http://rt.com/news/russian-rocket-engine-ban-039/Russia’s Security Council is reportedly considering a ban on supplying the US with powerful RD-180 rocket engines for military communications satellites as Russia focuses on building its own new space launch center, Vostochny, in the Far East.
A ban on the rockets supply to the US heavy booster, Atlas V, which delivers weighty military communications satellites and deep space exploration vehicles into orbit, could impact NASA’s space programs – not just military satellite launches.
Все лажа, конечно, потому что у Маска уже есть Falcon 9. С другой стороны, сама идея продажи аж 100 движков с документацией в придачу была идиотской. Хотя вот последний NROL-65 полетел на Delta Heavy, а Atlas V Heavy так и не реализовался.
