Today I was really crazy and bought an upper stage liquid fuel rocket engine of a SAM-2 missile (Soviet designation: S-75) at an aviation fleamarket.
If I get even more crazy I´ll build myself a test stand and actually run it. Now for this I need to get every bit of information about this engine. I know that it is running on a hypergolic mix of red fuming nitric acid and a type of kerosene fuel. But I need more information.
Does anybody have access to manuals about this engine (Istayev S2.711 or one of of the modified versions), preferably in a language I understand (English, German, Spanish or French)?
First I need to find out what subtype it is and the technical data like thrust, fuel and oxydiser consumption, pumop inlet pressures etc..

Thanks,

Jan

I'm afraid I can't help you, but I gotta say the flea markets in your neck of the woods seem to be a hell lot more interesting than the ones in my area.

Make with the pictures of this engine for the 'Flying telephone pole'.

I've never been to a fleamarket that sells missile bits.

Why don't I have one of these nearby?

Here are two pictures of this engine, complete with turbopump, in my living room:




Mind: it is as tall as the hi-hat in the background.
