Inverted view of injector head showing liquid propellant (LOX and fuel) diffuser cups, (see other images for insert and position nomenclature). Of note in this image are the pointing angles of the cups, positioned on a parabolic section to focus the propellant nebular stream into the central axis of the combustion space. Also of note are the large areas between each cup NOT employed in the injection process leading to structured propellant mixing as opposed to even homogeneous mixing. The four veil cooling inlet connectors are well shown. 3D model by Alexander Savochkin

View of injector head showing 18 liquid propellant (LOX and fuel) diffuser cups and head fuel valve seating ring at centre, (see other images for insert and position nomenclature). Visible immediately below the valve seat are the large connecting holes that allow fuel to flow from the inlet manifold and cooling jacket to the injector space (some brass injector inserts can be seen through the holes) after the head fuel valve is released to be opened by the turbo-pump supply pressure. The four veil cooling inlet connectors are well shown as are two of the outlet connection holes immediately above them. 3D model by Alexander Savochkin

View of the top of the injector head, with outer cups and pressed steel capping piece removed, showing, propellant diffuser inner cores with injector inserts and LOX supply pipe connection thread. The LOX spray head can be seen inside the LOX pipe connector. The swirl caps of fuel injector inserts in positions A,D,& E can be seen clearly on the outside of the cores and the two rows of drilled fuel feed holes are also well shown. 3D model by Alexander Savochkin

A close-up view of the head fuel valve mounting flange (showing 12 fastener holes). Visible immediately below the top flange are the large connecting holes that allow fuel to flow from the inlet manifold and cooling jacket to the injector space (some brass injector inserts can be seen through the holes) after the head fuel valve is released to be opened by the turbo-pump supply pressure.
