After relying on Russian made rocket engines manufactured in factories based in the Ukraine for national security launches since the early 2000s, the United States began switching to newer, next-generation engines made within its borders. After SpaceX received three missions from Space Systems Command as its first part of the contract. The company began using non-Russian engineered engines in the Falcon 9 and other versions of their Falcon space rockets. As of March 3, 2022 Russia’s space agency, after the start of the Ukrainian conflict, Roscosmos stopped all deliveries of Russian-made rocket engines to the United States.
