To give the space craft a boost
A Soviet carrier rocket used to launch spacecraft.
If you are talking about rocket salad or arugula, yes it is a type of food plant.If you are talking about the rockets used to launch spacecraft or nuclear warheads, no these are machines.
The space shuttle is a reusable spacecraft. It has 3 main engines powered by liquid fuel which are used to launch it into orbit with help from similarly reusable solid fuel boosters (the white rockets along the side of the shuttle during launch). When returning after a mission, the space shuttle is unpowered and glides back for a landing. See related question.
An Apollo rocket had three main stages: the first stage contained the engines to lift the rocket off the launch pad, the second stage provided additional thrust to reach orbit, and the third stage was used to propel the spacecraft to its destination in space.
A spacecraft or rocket is used to lift off from a planet on a journey into space. The rocket engines provide the necessary thrust to overcome Earth's gravity and propel the spacecraft into space.
Rockets are used as engines to accelerate the satellite to a speed fast enough to get it in orbit.
The rocket to launch Apollo 13 was the Saturn 5 rocket.
The first missions to the moon, including the Apollo missions, used the Saturn V rocket to launch the spacecraft, and the Apollo spacecraft itself to transport astronauts to and from the moon.
A rocket's fuel is typically located in large tanks situated within the rocket's body. The fuel is stored separately from the rocket's engines and is used as propellant for thrust during launch and flight.
Rocket engines can vary, but some common types include liquid fuel engines (using liquid fuel and oxidizer) and solid fuel engines (using a solid propellant). Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, based on factors like thrust, efficiency, and complexity.
Some common modes of transportation into space include rockets and space shuttles. Rockets use powerful engines to propel spacecraft beyond Earth's atmosphere, while space shuttles are reusable spacecraft that launch like a rocket and land like an airplane. Both of these vehicles are used to carry astronauts and cargo into space for missions to the International Space Station or beyond.
