The Rockomax "Poodle" Liquid Engine, formerly designated LV-909 Liquid Fuel Engine (Large), is a size 2 (2.5 meter diameter) liquid fuel engine. It has a comparatively low thrust to weight ratio, somewhat offset by its relatively short height, high Isp and thrust, and wide gimbal range.
The primary intended role of this engine is for larger upper stages of rockets for orbital insertions, transfers, and landings. For interplanetary travel, however, using five LV-909 Liquid Fuel Engines instead of one Poodle may be the better choice, because they have more thrust (about 13 %) for the same mass. Their only disadvantage is the much lower gimbal range.
