NASA Quest > Space Team Online Rockets that do not have the hollow core must be ignited at the lower end of the propellants and burning proceeds gradually from one end of the rocket to the other. The fuel of a liquid-propellant rocket is usually kerosene or liquid hydrogen; the oxidizer is usually liquid oxygen. As a basic principle of rocket flight, it can be said that for a rocket to leave the ground, the engine must produce a thrust that is greater than the total mass of the vehicle. quest.arc.nasa.gov /space/teachers/rockets/rocketry.html   (3796 words)

booster rocket - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about booster rocket First-stage rocket of a launching vehicle, or an additional rocket strapped to the main rocket to assist lift-off. The US Delta rocket, for example, has a cluster of nine strap-on boosters that fire on lift-off. Test-firing the DM-2 (Demonstration Motor 2) for the solid rocket booster (SRB) used on the space shuttle. encyclopedia.farlex.com /booster+rocket   (171 words)

Rocket Stability Whenever the rocket is inclined to the flight path, a lift force is generated by the rocket body and fins, while the aerodynamic drag remains fairly constant for small inclinations. On the coasting rocket case, the lift is directed towards the left, also the downwind side of the rocket. In the center of the figure, the rocket is undisturbed and the axis is aligned with the flight direction. exploration.grc.nasa.gov /education/rocket/rktstab.html   (660 words)

IGN: Rocket: Robot on Wheels Review The game features an off-the-wall combination of 1920s-like amusement park environments, delightfully rich, colorful textures (in some levels, and just the opposite in others) and simplistic polygon models. While Rocket is capable of executing a number of different moves (and riding in vehicles), it should be noted that the action is not terribly fast paced. Rocket, which the company describes as "Bugs Bunny meets Isaac Newton," is a game that teeters on the edge of the platform genre with some very recognizable, if not formulaic mechanics. ign64.ign.com /articles/161/161736p1.html   (1798 words)

Vanguard rocket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The first two flights of the Vanguard program, designated Test Vehicle (TV)-0 and -1, were actually the last two remaining RTV-N-12a Viking rockets. The first stage was a General Electric y-405 solid-fueled engine (designated XLR50-GE-2 by the Navy), derived from the engine of the RTV-N-12a Viking. Therefore, a very small experimental satellite (called the "grapefruit" and weighing only 1.8 kg (4 lb)) was added to TV-3, which was to be the first test of an all-up Vanguard rocket. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vanguard_rocket   (1086 words)

The Evolution of Rockets The military's rockets were larger and more ambitious, and the A2 which flew in 1934 developed a thrust of 16000 newton. The usual payload of the V-2 rocket was one ton (1000 kg), and with that a height of about 100 km was possible. Reducing the payload to 10 kg would increase that height somewhat, but not by much, since the empty rocket, weighing about 3 tons, would also have to be raised to the full height. www-istp.gsfc.nasa.gov /stargaze/Srockhis.htm   (1506 words)

Rocket Principles Developing the expression for rocket thrust involves the application of conservation of momentum in an accelerating reference frame. Rocket thrust results from the high speed ejection of material and does not require any medium to "push against". In free space this would lead to a rocket velocity hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu /hbase/rocket.html   (253 words)

ROCKET Rocket is 5 channels amplifier in 1 casing. With its dimension of (L x W x H): 41.5 cm x 27.5 cm x 6 cm, definitely Rocket will fit in any type of automobile and use very efficient space in its installation.

RocketModeler II 2.1f beta The location and orientation of the rocket is displayed during flight, although the rocket is not drawn to scale with the grid and surroundings. An Air rocket has a pump with a beginning and ending volume that can be used to compute the pressure in the rocket. For the solid rocket, the program insures that the tube diameter is large enough to hold the engine. exploration.grc.nasa.gov /education/rocket/rktsim.html   (3097 words)

Rocket Motion This is a high speed, but not very practical since the payload of the rocket must be less than 1%of the original mass even neglecting gravity and air resistance. Rockets are perfect for space travel because they carry their fuel and oxygen supply with them. This equation says that the rocket changes momentum due to its loss in mass (which is just the mass of gas expelled) times its initial velocity plus the mass of the rocket times its change in velocity. dept.physics.upenn.edu /courses/gladney/mathphys/subsubsection3_1_3_3.html   (1170 words)

National Association of Rocketry Model Rocket Safety Code If my model rocket weighs more than one pound (453 grams) at liftoff or has more than four ounces (113 grams) of propellant, I will check and comply with Federal Aviation Administration regulations before flying. I will launch my rocket from a launch rod, tower, or rail that is pointed to within 30 degrees of the vertical to ensure that the rocket flies nearly straight up, and I will use a blast deflector to prevent the motor's exhaust from hitting the ground. I will launch my rocket outdoors, in an open area at least as large as shown in the accompanying table, and in safe weather conditions with wind speeds no greater than 20 miles per hour. www.nar.org /NARmrsc.html   (504 words)

Space history: Aviation, rocketry and pre-manned spaceflight history. The rocket researchers quickly outgrew their facilities in the outskirts of Berlin and, in 1936, operations were transferred to a remote island of Peenemuende on Germany's Baltic coast. It is the ancestor of practically every rocket flown in the world today and, in September of 1944, was launched against England toward London but came too late to affect the outcome of the war. By February of 1946 all the German rocket scientist were moved to White Sands, New Mexico and on April 16, 1945 the first of the captured V-2's was launched in the United States. www.thespaceplace.com /history/rocket2.html   (2516 words)

Fremont Chamber of Commerce The Rocket bears the Fremont crest and motto, "De Libertas Quirkas"—which means "Freedom to be Peculiar." Neon laser pods have been installed on each fin and on the nose. In the spring of 1994 a new team was assembled headed up by Werner Von Hoge, the noted West Fremont rocket scientist, to rebuild the Rocket from top to bottom in time for the summer solstice and the Liberation of Fremont. Many ideas were considered, but the answer came on a live morning newscast reporting the dismantling of the circa 1950 cold war rocket fuselage attached to AJ's Surplus in Bell town. www.fremontseattle.com /myths/rockedit.htm   (320 words)

Howstuffworks "How Rocket Engines Work" Rocket engines are, on the one hand, so simple that you can build and fly your own model rockets very inexpensively (see the links on the last page of the article for details). On the other hand, rocket engines (and their fuel systems) are so complicated that only three countries have actually ever put people in orbit. In this article, we will look at rocket engines to understand how they work, as well as to understand some of the complexity surrounding them. science.howstuffworks.com /rocket.htm   (150 words)

Win98 Launches and Crashes The launch took the rocket to about 1200 feet in altitude, where a series of catastrophic failures caused the vehicle to begin to disintegrate. When the shock cord broke during the ejection, the parachute and nose cone separated from the rocket body, near the apogee of the flight at 1200 feet. Post-accident analysis indicated that the rocket's elastic shock cord, previously expected to be strong enough for flight on a "D" engine, had been weakened in the previous flights, and was no longer strong enough to withstand this much more powerful ejection charge. www.svlug.org /events/crash98.shtml   (944 words)

The Rocket The modified Rocket worked on the Liverpool and Manchester line until the late 1830s. Hauling 13 tons of loaded wagons, the Rocket averaged over 12 mph. (1) Robert Stephenson explained the design of the rocket in 1838. www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk /RArocket.htm   (849 words)

Science NetLinks: Rocket Launch When the rocket was designed, thought had to be given to how the model would be manufactured, operated, maintained, replaced, and disposed of and who would sell, operate, and take care of it. After launching the rocket, ask students how it was similar to and different from the launching of a real rocket, and to what they expected. Launch the rocket several times while having students pay attention to how you operate the launch, the flight of the rocket, and the condition of the rocket after each recovery. www.sciencenetlinks.com /Lessons.cfm?DocID=145   (1058 words)

Rocket Man Blog Rockets need more thrust than their total weight to get off the pad, and then waste a lot of power accelerating straight up. TGV Rockets is looking to hire two propulsion engineers, a structural engineer, a structural analyst, a systems engineer, a landing gear engineer and a mechanism engineer. I started at TGV Rockets on March 29th, but my wife and three kids were still in Colorado waiting for our house to sell. www.rocketmanblog.com   (13132 words)

John Kallend's rocket page The Me163 was the world's first and only rocket powered fighter (although the Ba 349 Natter "disposable" interceptor was also ready, in a manner of speaking, it never saw real service). The rocket on the right is a scale model of an HV Arcas, being flown with a G64W motor at a CIA launch at Rantoul, Illinois. It takes two rocket motors, one for launch and the other is ignited in the air by radio control. www.iit.edu /~kallend/rock.html   (327 words)

Rocket Equations Area of the rocket: A = pi*r^2 = 3.14*(0.5*0.976/12*0.3048)^2 = 0.000483 m^2 Let's suppose the extreme case (for a model rocket) that the propellant is half the total weight of the rocket, or mp = mr = m. Barrowman Equations: determine the stability of your rocket by calculating the center of pressure - with spreadsheet example. my.execpc.com /~culp/rockets/rckt_eqn.html   (2888 words)

Rocket Thrust Equation The amount of thrust produced by the rocket depends on the mass flow rate through the engine, the exit velocity of the exhaust, and the pressure at the nozzle exit. That's why a rocket will work in space, where there is no surrounding air, and a gas turbine or propeller will not work. Since the oxidizer is carried on board the rocket, rockets can generate thrust in a vacuum where there is no other source of oxygen. www.grc.nasa.gov /WWW/K-12/airplane/rockth.html   (400 words)
