The KDU-414 (Russian Корректирующая Двигательная Установка, Corrective Propulsion Unit), is a pressure-fed liquid rocket Propulsion Unit developed and produced by the Isayev Design Bureau (today known as KhimMash).[1] From 1960 onward, it powered several unmanned Soviet Spacecraft, including the first series of Molniya satellites, several Kosmos satellites as well as the space probes Mars 1, Venera 1, Zond 2 and Zond 3,[5] featured as a part of standartized spacecraft buses known as KAUR-2, 2MV and 3MV.

The Corrective Propulsion Unit is comprised of a single chamber 'S5.19' liquid rocket engine and a conical thermal protection cowl containing the spherical propellant tank.[8] A barrier splits the tank into two separate compartments, filled with the propellant, UDMH, and the oxidizer, IRFNA, respectively. This combination of propellants is hypergolic, igniting on contact. The rocket motor is supplied with fuel by pressurizing the tank using gaseous nitrogen, which doubles as a source of RCS propellant. Elastic barriers within the tank prevent the nitrogen gas and propellant/oxidiser from mixing with each other.[5]

A gimbal mount allows the engine to swivel along two axes.[5]

In 1974, it was replaced with its derived successor, the KDU-414A with the S5.114 engine.
