    #Skyroot’s rocket stands about 22 meters tall, with the capability to place payloads of up to 350 kilograms into low-Earth orbit. This makes #Vikram1 somewhat larger than the #Electron launch vehicle developed by #RocketLab.

    Skyroot's ambition involves larger liquid-fueled fully reusable ♻️ rockets, with a “daily cadence” from multiple countries

  5. 🚀🤯 Congrats, America! You've finally managed to make a rocket engine that rotates and detonates — just like your political debates. 🎢🔥 Meanwhile, the rest of the world is busy landing on #Mars. 🙄🌌

  7. Here, a Soyuz rocket takes off in 2023, carrying three of the Expedition 70 crew to the International Space Station. This initial stage of the Soyuz launch vehicle uses four identical rocket boosters lashed around the second stage core. Each of the boosters has a rocket engine with four combustion chambers (and thus four exhaust nozzles) of its own. That creates the fiery flurry of engine plumes seen here. Most of the exhaust plumes are directed downward to provide the thrust needed to lift the rocket, but you can see a few angled slightly to either side to help stabilize the launch vehicle as it rises.

  10. The #engine section of a #Delta II #rocket.
    The main engine is a #Rocketdyne #RS27A that burns kerosene and liquid oxygen.
    On either side of the center engine nozzle, the two yellow and white portions that seem covered in fabric with red openings are #vernier thrusters to maintain attitude control.

  14. #NASA demonstrated a small #rocket #engine that burned #methane + #LOX in it’s Project #Morpheus craft, intended to test both the engine and technology to allow for more accurate and safer landings of robotic landers.
    The #CH4 and #LiquidOxygen are stored in the silver-foil covered spheres, with the engine in the middle.

    Congratulations to the United Launch Alliance for their first launch of their #methane LOX powered Vulcan-Centaur.

  15. A #Saturn IB #rocket on display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor’s Complex.
    The #SaturnIB helped test the Apollo spacecraft in Earth orbit.
    The rocket also carried the Apollo spacecraft to the Skylab space station and to meet a Soviet Soyuz for the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project.
    The eight red nozzles are the 8 H-1 #engines that powered the rocket.

  16. Today is the anniversary of the #Apollo11 Moon landing!
    At Kennedy #Space Center’s Visitor Complex, it’s possible to visit the #Apollo / Saturn V Center, where a #SaturnV #rocket is on display, with its stages separated.
    These are the 5 J-2 engines that powered the S-II stage that was the second stage on the Saturn V.
    They burned liquid hydrogen (#LH2) and liquid oxygen (#LOX). This high-energy combination of propellants made it much easier for the United States to build a successful #Moon mission, whereas the Soviets were forced to stick with hypergolic fuels or kerosene, making lunar missions impractical.
