About KVD-1
KVD-1 was an upper stage LOX/LH2 cryogenic engine developed by the Isayev Design Bureau of Russia in the early 1960s. It is a modified version of the RD-56, developed for a never-completed cryogenic upper stage of the N-1 super-heavy lift rocket, with the goal of enabling crewed lunar missions by the USSR.
