Not exact matches

All rockets used some form of solid or powdered propellant up until the 20th century, when liquid rockets and hybrid rockets offered more efficient and controllable alternatives.

A solid rocket or a solid fuel rocket is a rocket with a motor that uses solid propellants (fuel / oxidizer).

The patent goes on to give detailed plans for a space module that is launched into near - Earth orbit by rocket, and then blasted into space by onboard solid - propellant engines.

These rockets — powered by ionized xenon gas — produce very low thrust compared with their solid - or liquid - fueled cousins, but use so little propellant that they last much longer.

A hybrid rocket propulsion system comprises propellants of two different states of matter, the most common configuration being a rocket engine composed of a solid propellant lining a combustion chamber into which a liquid or gaseous propellant is injected so as to undergo a strong exothermic reaction to produce hot gas that is emitted through a De Laval nozzle for propulsive purposes.

Hybrid rocket engines use a combination of solid and liquid or gaseous propellants.
