	Rocket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		After the war, rockets were used to study high-altitude conditions, by radio telemetry of temperature and pressure of the atmosphere, detection of cosmic rays, and further research.
		Rockets became extremely military important in the form of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) when it was realised that nuclear weapons carried on a rocket vehicle were essentially not defensible against once launched, and they became the delivery platform of choice for these weapons.

	Rocket (disambiguation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A rocket is a vehicle, missile, or aircraft that creates thrust by expelling burned fuel (as exhaust) at a high rate.

	Solid Rocket Encyclopedia @ LaunchBase.net (Launch Base) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		A Solid rocket or a solid fuel rocket is a rocket with a motor that uses solid propellants (fuel/oxidizer).
		The earliest rockets were solid fuelled, powered by gunpowder, used by the Chinese in warfare as early as the 13th century.
		Solid fuel rockets can be bought for use in model rocketry; they are normally small cylinders of fuel with an integral nozzle and a small charge that is set off when the fuel is exhausted.

		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.

	Rocket - MSN Encarta
		Rockets are presently the only vehicles that can launch into and move around in space.
		A rocket can be as simple and small as a firework, which has a small amount of thrust, or as complex and powerful as the Saturn V rocket, which took humans to the Moon.
		British Congreve war rockets, which were used in the War of 1812, are referred to in a line of the United States national anthem: “And the rockets red glare…” Rockets have many applications both on Earth and in space.

		Today's rockets are remarkable collections of human ingenuity that have their roots in the science and technology of the past.
		By the 16th century rockets fell into a time of disuse as weapons of war, though they were still used for fireworks displays, and a German fireworks maker, Johann Schmidlap, invented the "step rocket," a multi-staged vehicle for lifting fireworks to higher altitudes.
		Nearly all uses of rockets up to this time were for warfare or fireworks, but there is an interesting old Chinese legend that reported the use of rockets as a means of transportation.

	National Association of Rocketry \| Model Rocket Safety Code
		If my rocket does not launch when I press the button of my electrical launch system, I will remove the launcher's safety interlock or disconnect its battery, and will wait 60 seconds after the last launch attempt before allowing anyone to approach the rocket.
		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.

	The Evolution of Rockets
		In the latter, the fuel gradually burned off (as it did in early gunpowder rockets), and the entire fuel container was under pressure, supplying hot gas directly to the De-Laval nozzle.
		The military's rockets were larger and more ambitious, and the A2 which flew in 1934 developed a thrust of 16000 newton.
		That rocket has been described as a "stainless steel balloon," keeping its shape with the help of pressurized gas in its interior, also used in pushing out the fuel.

	Rocket Principles
		In the language of calculus, we say that the force is defined as the derivative of the momentum.
		Rocket thrust results from the high speed ejection of material and does not require any medium to "push against".
		Developing the expression for rocket thrust involves the application of conservation of momentum in an accelerating reference frame.

	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.
		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.
		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.

		As for the actual type of rocket to be employed, the plan advises the use of 1¢ aerial torpedoes.
		He regarded twin boom craft as particularly "suitable for rocket drive", given that they had "plenty of space behind the centre of gravity, so that the efflux can be directed away from the model".
		He also favoured tailless models as "suitable for rocket drive", since it was "possible […] to fit a rocket in the tail end of a model.

		We drove back to the Rocket Car and found that Jimmy and Beck had already shoved one of my igniters into the JATO nozzle, attached the leads to the roll of field-phone cable with wirenuts, and were unrolling the cable away from the tracks.
		But the Rocket Car was still exactly the same as it was when we left, back end hanging out of a pile of rubble with a rocket sticking out of it.

		The rocket should be attached on its side to the top of the car, and the car's wheels should roll easily.
		When there is enough gas pushing inside the rocket, the cover and body are able to break free of each other and the cover goes in one direction and the body goes in the other.
		When a rocket is launched on its side, there is friction, which is caused by gravity pulling down on the rocket and the ground pushing up on the rocket.

		His method was the simplest and most immediate method for putting a payload into orbit, but as it had no upper-stage guidance, it was not put into a precisely specified orbit.
		When used as a satellite launch vehicle, von Braun referred to the Jupiter-C as the Juno or Juno-I, to make it appear as peaceable as the Vanguard rocket, which was not a missile, that is, a weapon of war, but was developed from a weather study rocket.

		The H-2A rocket is intended to establish a Japanese presence in the commercial satellite launch market, now dominated by the United States and Europe, but it has suffered repeated technical problems.
		Last week, a problem with a valve in one of the rocket's engines was exacerbated by the arrival of Typhoon Pabuk, which prevented investigators from flying to the launch site from the mainland.
		But the H-2 programme was cancelled in 1999 after the first-stage engine of the rocket cut out too early and the rocket was deliberately destroyed along with its $83m (£57m) satellite payload.

		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.

	The Rocket
		By causing all the flame and heated air to pass through a great number of tubes surrounded by water, a very great and rapid means of heating the water is obtained as a very large heated surface is thus exposed to the water.
		Former locomotives with only a flue through the boiler have never been able to travel faster than about eight miles an hour as they had not sufficient heating surface in the boiler to generate the steam for supplying the cylinder more rapidly.
		The introduction of tubes into the boiler is one of the greatest improvements that has been made in the construction of locomotives, and was the cause of the superiority of the rocket engine to those that competed with it.
