What are the six phases of rocket flight?
Ignition and lift off, Engine burn out, coasting phase, apogee and ejection, recovery
What are the different parts of a rocket?
Space Shuttles have over six million component parts so I'll just name the most familiar part names for you. The Orbiter Rocket Systems 2x Solid Rocket Boosters Three Main Engines Heat Shield Tiles Robotic Arm That's about it.
What fuel system did the Saturn V rocket use?
it used liquid oxygen
What is a fuselage on a rocket?
The fuselage of a rocket is the main part of the rocket :)
During a rocket launch whioch is greater thrust of the rocket engine or weight of the rocket?
thrust of the rocket engine
What is the function of the recovery system on a rocket?
The function of a recovery system on a rocket works somewhat like a parachute. It opens up when the rocket reaches a certain height to ensure that the landing will be safe.

What is the function of recovery system a rocket?
The function of a recovery system on a rocket is to allow it to gently return to the earth. This allows the equipment to be reused in later launches to cut down on costs and down time.
What is all of the pieces for a model rocket?
Nose cone, fins, body tube, recovery system, motor (s) , launch lugs, recovery wadding.

What does the recovery system do on a model rocket?
It basically allows you to reuse your rocket. Common recovery systems are a parachute or a streamer, both of which pop out of part of the rocket (the nose, usually) when it's in the air. The parachute (usually used with slightly larger rockets) or the streamer (generally found on smaller rockets) then catches the wind/air as the rocket comes down, allowing it to land without damage.
What does the engine hook do on model rockets?
Keeps the engine inside the rocket when the ejection charge fires to prevent loss of pressure and failure to eject recovery system.
What effect will the wind have on the way a rocket is launched?
Wind is a major factor when it comes to launching model rockets. Wind can cause your rocket to go up at an angle or tip over. Wind also effects the recovery/descent process. Wind can blow your rocket very far after the recovery system is deployed (if its a parachute. To reduce the distance of gliding, I'd recommend that you cut a hole in the middle of the parachute.
What is a rocket's structural system?
The structural system is the body of a rocket, this includes all the parts of the rocket.
What does the payload do in a model rocket?
Yes it does; depending on the wind changing. Sometimes a payload will slow it down and sometimes it will guide the rocket in the correct direction giving accuracy and distance.
What does the fire-retardant wadding in a model rocket protect?
It generally protects the recovery system. If you sit a parachute or streamer on top of a hot engine, it's going to melt or burn up (depending on the material). The wadding is placed between the engine and the recovery system so your rocket will work like it's supposed to and you'll be able to reuse it. You have to be careful how tightly you put in the wadding, though, since you don't want it to stifle your engine.
