I am not sure of the exact year, but the Chinese had rockets years before anyone in the west has thought of them. Since they had gunpowder, it was a natural extension to put gunpowder in a cylinder of some kind. Most likely bamboo, and then light it. Fireworks were invented.

What are three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts?

Three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts are liquid-propellant rockets, solid-propellant rockets, and hybrid rockets. Liquid-propellant rockets use liquid fuel and oxidizer, solid-propellant rockets use solid fuel and oxidizer mixed together, and hybrid rockets use a combination of solid and liquid propellants.


Who first proposed the idea of space exploration by rocket?

Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, a Russian scientist, first proposed the idea of using rockets for space exploration in the early 1900s. His work laid the foundation for modern astronautics.


What are 5 different types of rockets?

Solid-fuel rockets: These rockets use a solid propellant that is burned to create thrust. Liquid-fuel rockets: These rockets use liquid propellants, typically a fuel and an oxidizer, that are mixed and burned to produce thrust. Hybrid rockets: These rockets use a combination of solid and liquid propellants for propulsion. Ion propulsion rockets: These rockets use ionized gas accelerated by electromagnetic fields to generate thrust. Nuclear thermal rockets: These rockets use a nuclear reaction to heat a propellant, typically hydrogen, for propulsion.
