It seems that OSC has decided that the Russian-built, formerly NK-33 rocket engines refurbished and rebranded as the AJ26, are to be removed from the fleet and replaced with a new engine, with a first launch in 2016. It was always the plan that the AJ26’s would be replaced, but I guess having one of them go kerblooie speeded the decision along.

Failed rocket’s engine likely to be pulled
