Europa 2 space rocket Rolls-Royce RZ-2 engines - Euro Space Center (Transinne/BE)
The first stage of the Europa II rocket with Rolls-Royce RZ-2 engines intended for launch F-14.
The Europa rocket was an early expendable launch system of the European Launcher Development Organisation (ELDO), which was the precursor to the European Space Agency (ESA). It was developed with the aim to delivering space access technology, and more specifically to facilitate the deployment of European-wide telecommunication and meteorological satellites into orbit.
