	Rocket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A rocket is a vehicle, missile or aircraft which obtains thrust by the reaction to the ejection of fast moving exhaust gas from within a rocket engine.
		Rockets must be used when there is no other substance (land, water, or air) or force (gravity, magnetism, light) that a vehicle may employ for propulsion, such as in space.
		Modern rockets were born when, after receiving a grant in 1917 from the Smithsonian Institution, Robert Goddard attached a de Laval nozzle to a rocket engine's combustion chamber, doubling the thrust and enormously raising the efficiency, giving birth to the real possibility of practical space travel.

		Rocket thrust is due to the exhaust gases applying pressure on the inside surfaces of the rocket engine as they accelerate (see Newton's 3rd Law of Motion).
		Rockets are also used for deceleration, to transfer to a lower-energy orbit, for example to enter into a circular orbit from outside, to de-orbit for landing, for the whole landing if there is no atmosphere (e.g.

		Rocket thrust is due to the exhaust gases applying pressure on the inside surfaces of the rocket engine as they accelerate (see Newton's laws of motionNewton's 3rd Law of Motion/).
		The speeds that a rocket vehicle can reach can be calculated by the rocket equation; which gives the speed difference ('delta-v') in terms of the exhaust speed and ratio of inital mass to final mass ('mass ratio').

		Rocket fire-arrows were certainly used to repel Mongol invaders at the battle of Kai-fung-fu in 1232 A.D. The rockets were huge and apparently quite powerful.
		The principal drawback to rockets throughout this period of development was the type of fuel.
		The rocket researchers quickly outgrew their facilities at Kummersdorf on the outskirts of Berlin and, in 1936, operations were transferred to a remote island on Germany's Baltic coast -- Peenemuende.

		These rockets may have included the first combustion chamber, for sources describe the design as incorporating an "iron pot" to contain and direct the thrust of the gunpowder propellant.
		Two years later, as plans for the follow-on A3 rocket were being finalized, initial planning began for the A4 rocket -- a rocket that was to be, in Dornberger's words, a practical weapon, not a research tool.
		A version of the Redstone rocket, known as the Jupiter C, on January 31, 1958, was used to launch America's first satellite, Explorer I. Three years later, Mercury Redstones launched Alan Sheppard and Gus Grissom on suborbital space flights, paving the way for John Glenn's first orbital flight.

		Demonstration firings at the private rocket field at Reinickendorff convinced the Germany Army to employ a small nucleus of this group and to support their work by funding to be provided from the Ordnance Department.
		It soon became apparent that the Berlin environment was not conducive to rocket flights, and it was decided in the mid-Thirties to establish a rocket development facility at Peenemünde on the Baltic Sea island of Usedom, at the mouth of the Oder River.
		The German rocket troops were trained to erect 3 missiles at a time, and to fuel, to align, and to launch them in a matter of 2 hours.

		The Redstone's Rocketdyne A-7 engine, which normally burned alcohol and liquid oxygen to produce 334 kilonewtons (75,000 pounds) of thrust, was modified to use what the Army called "Hydyne" (a corrosive mixture of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and diethylene triamine) as a fuel to produce 369 kilonewtons (83,000 pounds) of thrust.
		Although the rocket operated as intended, a guidance system malfunction caused the nosecone to overshoot the target area and the payload was not recovered.
		The remaining three Jupiter C rockets, which could be converted into satellite launchers with only a couple of months notice, were consigned to storage in the hopes that the Eisenhower administration and the Department of Defense would soon authorize a satellite launch.

	Redstone rocket
		The Redstone was a high-accuracy, liquid-propelled, surface-to-surface missile and was a direct descendant of the German V-2 rocket.
		For control during powered ascent, the Redstone depended on tail fins with movable rudders and refractory carbon vanes mounted in the rocket exhaust.
		The first Redstone missile was launched on August 20, 1953, from the military's missile range at Cape Canaveral, Florida, and traveled 8,000 yards (7,315 meters).

		The basic Redstone missile for which the stand was a major test site had its origin in 1950 when the Ordnance Guided Missile Center began study of a 500-mile-range rocket.

		For Mercury, the Redstone propellant tank was lengthened by 6 feet (same as the Jupiter C) and the standard Redstone engine thrust was increased to 78,000 pounds thrust.

		He wrote articles on rockets, orbiting space stations, and travel to the Moon for his high school journal, and he decided at that time that during the rest of his life, he wanted to help open the road for man's travel to his celestial neighbors.
		While von Braun developed long-range precision rockets under the Army's auspices in Peenemunde, he was not allowed to mention the use of such rockets for space exploration.
		Actually, the composite multistage Redstone rocket that he suggested for a satellite launch was also needed for another purpose: At that time, his team developed the 1600-mile Jupiter missile which needed a thermal protection for its nuclear warhead while it reentered the atmosphere at high speed.
