Yeah, no shocker there. Trying to undercut the competition by finding the least expensive parts possible, ends up pulling relics out of the garage on the promise that they can be reconditioned cheaper than a fresh-built engine.

The irony of it all? The NK-33 hasn’t been built since the 70s and Orbital only has a limited number left. The alternative engine’s supply is devoted to ULA’s launchers and so Orbital is practically begging Kuznetsov to restart NK-33 production.
