The Merlin rocket engines by @spacex are specifically developed for recovery and reuse features of the Falcon series of launch vehicles. These engines are gimbaled and have throttle and restart capability for high degrees of control. Two of the nine Merlin engines in the first stage of the Falcon 9 can malfunction without affecting the launch. Merlin engines utilize cooled rocket-grade kerosene (RP-1) and chilled liquid oxygen as rocket propellants in a gas-generator power cycle. A Turbopump fee
