FIELD: liquid-propellant rocket engines.
SUBSTANCE: proposed system includes lines of different propellant components, gas lines and gas generator. Mounted in front of main turbo-pump unit with multi-stage propellant component pump and drive gas turbine is booster turbo-pump unit with propellant component pump and drive single-stage hydraulic turbine fed from "n" stage of main pump. Working passage of hydraulic turbine is located in connecting line between outlet of "n" stage and inlet of "(n+1)" stage of main pump.
EFFECT: simplified construction; reduced mass of liquid propellant.
