ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

NK-33

Okay kiddo, NK-33 is like a big, powerful heart for a space rocket called the Soyuz. The heart pumps the fuel and the oxygen together, so that the rocket can go up into space. The NK-33 is very, very strong, kind of like how strong you are when you eat your vegetables and grow big and strong.

The NK-33 heart is made up of special metal tubes and valves and pumps that all work together to make the rocket go up and up higher and higher. When it's time for the Soyuz rocket to launch, the NK-33 heart gets very, very hot and powerful, like how your car engine works really hard when you're driving up a big hill.

So, that's what NK-33 is all about. It's a big, strong heart for a rocket that helps it go up into space, kind of like you use your heart to pump blood and move your body around. Cool, huh?
