| − | The '''LV-1 "Ant" Liquid Fuel Engine''' is used to provide thrust to a rocket and is currently the weakest liquid fueled engine available. As of [[1.0]], it has extremely poor specific impulse in atmosphere, but decent specific impulse in vacuum; in combination with its low mass and tiny size, this makes it a good choice for small satellites. There is a [[Radial size|radial]] derivative of this engine called [[LV-1R Liquid Fuel Engine]] featuring a similar design and vacuum thrust but very different Isp profile at a slightly higher cost.

| |
| − | * Specific impulse at sea level reduced from 85 to 80.
| |
| − | ;[[1.0]]
| |
| − | * Mass, cost, thrust, and fuel consumption decreased; specific impulse changed. Fuel gauge added. Given proper nickname.
