What are the main parts of a rocket?

Answer 1

The four parts of a comet are:

Head- Nebulous envelope around the nucleus.

Nucleus- Central portion of the head of a comet. Solid part of the comet that has holes filled with ices like water, carbon dioxide (dry ice), and carbon monoxide.

Coma- A cloud which is the atmosphere of the comet and can extend for millions of miles.

Tail- Dust Particles that trail behind.

Answer 2

There are a couple types of rockets. If you're talking about the one with the big orange thing, there are for main sections: the solid fuel boosters, located on the side of the main fuel tank. The solid fuel boosters make it through most of the atmosphere, until in approximately three minutes into the flight, where they fall off and activate their parachutes. The orange fuel tank propels the space shuttle the rest of the way, dropping off in approximately eight minutes into the flight. Then the smaller plane-like top part continues on it's mission.

Answer 3

Although early rockets had only one stage, it was early recognized that no single-stage rocket can reach orbital velocity (5 mi/8 km per sec) or the earth's escape velocity (7 mi/11 km per sec). Hence multistage rockets, such as the two-stage Atlas-Centaur or the three-stage Saturn V, became necessary for space exploration. In these systems, two or more rockets are assembled in tandem and ignited in turn; once the lower stage's fuel is exhausted, it detaches and falls back to earth. Soviet systems clustered several rockets together, operated simultaneously, to obtain a large initial thrust.

Answer 4

1. The Nose Cone (to provide a low-air-resistance profile)

2. The Fuel and containment chamber or tube (to provide propulsion)

3. The nozzle (to properly form the exhaust stream)

4. The fins (for stabilization)

Answer 5

the rocket has over 100 different part. But, it has 10 major parts!!

Answer 6

basic parts: nose cone, body, fins
