Bipropellant rocket — A bipropellant rocket engine is a rocket engine that uses two propellants (very often liquid propellants) which are kept separately prior to reacting to form a hot gas to be used for propulsion.In contrast, most solid rockets have single solid… … Wikipedia
Rocket engine — RS 68 being tested at NASA s Stennis Space Center. The nearly transparent exhaust is due to this engine s exhaust being mostly superheated steam (water vapor from its propellants, hydrogen and oxygen) … Wikipedia
RD-170 (rocket engine) — The RD 170 is the world s most powerful multi nozzle multi chamber liquid bipropellant rocket engine. It burns the Russian equivalent of RP 1 fuel and LOX oxidizer in four combustion chambers supplied by a single turbo pump according to a staged… … Wikipedia

Viking (rocket engine) — The Viking rocket engines were members of a series of bipropellant engines for the first and second stages of the Ariane 1 thru Ariane 4 commercial launch vehicles, using storable, hypergolic propellants, N2O4/UH 25 (mixture 75% UDMH and 25%… … Wikipedia
Rocket — This article is about vehicles powered by rocket engines. For other uses, see Rocket (disambiguation). A Soyuz U, at Baikonur Site 1/5 A rocket is a missile, spacecraft, aircraft or other vehicle which obtains thrust from a rocket engi … Wikipedia
Expander cycle (rocket) — The expander cycle is a power cycle of a bipropellant rocket engine meant to improve the efficiency of fuel delivery.In an expander cycle, the fuel is heated before it is combusted, usually with waste heat from the main combustion chamber. As the … Wikipedia
Gas-generator cycle (rocket) — The gas generator cycle (also known as open cycle) is a power cycle of a bipropellant rocket engine. Some of the propellant is burned in a gas generator and the resulting hot gas is used to power the engine s pumps. The gas is then… … Wikipedia
hybrid rocket — noun a) a bipropellant rocket engine which uses propellants that are in two different states, typically liquid and solid, which when reacted, create exhaust gases suitable for rocket propulsion. b) a vehicle propelled by a hybrid rocket engine … Wiktionary
Staged combustion cycle (rocket) — Staged combustion rocket cycle. Usually, all of the fuel and a portion of the oxidizer are fed through the pre burner (fuel rich) to power the pumps. An oxygen rich circuit is possible also, but less common because of the metallurgy required. The … Wikipedia
Liquid rocket — A liquid rocket is a rocket with an engine that uses propellants in liquid form. Liquids are desirable because their reasonably high density allows the volume and hence the mass of the tanks to be relatively low, resulting in a high mass ratio.… … Wikipedia
