- The rocket uses a familiar engine configuration, with nine E2 gas-generator cycle engines on its first stage and a single vacuum-optimized E2 on its second stage, all burning RP-1 and liquid oxygen. Unusually, however, RS1 is also capable of running on Jet-A aviation fuel, and its first-stage engines are mounted in a circle with no center engine.
