YF-102RV
Chinese high-altitude liquid oxygen/kerosene rocket engine derived from YF-102 for the Long March 12B second stage. Official CASC material identifies one YF-102RV high-altitude engine on the second stage and describes the derivative as sharing the YF-102 technology base while adapting it to vacuum operation.
