The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Blok E was designed to soft land the LK on the surface of the Moon after orbital velocity was cancelled by Blok D. Later the same stage would fire for the second time for the liftoff and ascent from the Moon to rendezvous with the orbiting Soyuz 7K-LOK.
- Blok E used RD-858, which has one nozzle and is deeply throttleable, as the primary engine.
- The backup engine was RD-859, which has two nozzles.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Blok E article was read about 2,100 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 51 and blocks with 38: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
