Rockets propel themselves through the combustion of onboard fuel and ejection of exhaust gases from a nozzle. They produce thrust through Newton's third law of equal and opposite reactions. Rockets come in different propulsion types including chemical, nuclear, and electric and are used to launch missiles, scientific sounding rockets, satellite launch vehicles, and spacecraft thrusters. Key components include multiple staging to increase thrust capacity during launch, and control systems to maintain stability and steer the rocket during flight.

1. ROCKET

2. INTRODUCTION
 Rocket, self-propelled device that
carries its own fuel.
 Rocket engine is the most
powerful engine for its weight.
 Rockets can operate in space,
because they carry their own
oxygen.
 Rockets are presently the only

3. How Rocket works….?
 Action and Reaction
 Thrust and Efficiency
 Staging

4. Action and Reaction
 Rockets produces the force that moves them
forward by burning their fuel inside a chamber.
 Rocket, like the balloon, has an opening called a
nozzle from which the exhaust gases exit.

5. Thrust and Efficiency
 Thrust is a measurement of the
force of a rocket, or the amount of
“push” exerted backward to move a
rocket forward.
 Specific impulse measures the
efficiency and power of rocket

6. Staging
 In some rockets that use stages,
the first stage has additional
rockets attached to the outside,
acting as boosters to further
increase the thrust.
 The first and most powerful stage
lifts the launch vehicle into the

9. ROCKET USES
 Missiles
 Sounding Rockets
 Launch Vehicles
 Thrusters

10. Missiles
 The term missile actually means
any object thrown at an enemy
and includes arrows, bullets, and
other weapons.

11. Sounding Rockets
 Scientists use sounding rockets
to carry scientific instruments into
the upper atmosphere to take
measurements of air quality,
radiation from space, and other
data.

12. Launch Vehicles

Launch vehicles send satellites
and other spacecraft into space.
 These vehicles must be far
more powerful than other types
of rockets, because they carry
more cargo farther and faster

13. Thrusters
 Many spacecraft use small rockets
called thrusters to move around in
space.
 Thrusters can change the speed
and direction of a spacecraft.
