The engine comprises a chamber, fuel and oxidizer booster pumps, a turbopump unit, a gas generator, an electrically driven thrust regulator, and a fuel throttle. A programmable starting and ignition system is introduced, which includes a fuel tank, connected to the thrust regulator, and a first ampoule with starting fuel, an output of which through a starting/cut-off valve is connected to fuel injectors of the gas generator. The aforesaid tank is also connected through a second ampoule to the starting fuel and by a jet to autonomous ignition injectors located in the space of the combustion chamber of the engine. An inclined Archimedian screw pump with a gas turbine as an actuator and an oxidizing gas as a working medium is used as an oxidizer booster pump. The gas is discharged after its use in a turbine into an outlet manifold of the booster pump. A heat exchanger, in which the gas used for rocket tank pressurization is heated, is mounted on a pipeline feeding the gas to the aforesaid gas turbine of the booster pump actuator.
