Reusable and Methane-Fueled — Is Amur-LNG Russia’s Space Comeback? | Amur-SPG
Mar 2, 2026
Russia is entering a new chapter in its space history with the development of the Amur-LNG rocket, a methane-fueled, partially reusable launch vehicle designed to modernize its orbital capabilities. Developed under the leadership of Roscosmos and manufactured by the Progress Rocket and Space Centre, Amur-LNG represents a major technological shift away from traditional kerosene-based systems toward cleaner-burning methane propulsion.
In this video, we explore why methane matters, how reusable first-stage recovery works, and why the Vostochny Cosmodrome is central to the program’s long-term strategy. We break down the engineering challenges behind reusable boosters, the economic promise of lower launch costs, and the geopolitical importance of domestic production.
Is Amur-LNG Russia’s answer to the global reusable rocket revolution? Can it compete in an increasingly commercialized launch market? And what does this mean for the future of Roscosmos and international space competition?
Watch till the end for a deep dive into propulsion technology, reusability economics, and what milestones to watch in the coming years.
