Uses Solid propellant (fuel / Oxidizer.It is used for earliest rockets, Once Ignited it can not turn off These are simple and provide high level of thrust
Liquid Rockets
02
Uses Liquid fuels, Liquid rockets can be throttled, which allows for greater control over thrust. Offer higher specific impulse than solid rockets,
Hybrid Rockets
03
These use combination of liquid and solid fuel, Hybrid rockets offer some of the advantages of both solid and liquid rockets, such as simplicity, reliability, and the ability to throttle the rocket.
Monopropellant Rockets
04
These rockets uses single type of fuel typically a liquid chemical stored in a tank. Fuel is decomposed by catalyst to provide thrust. Offer lower level thrust and efficiency.
Monopropellant Rockets
05
These rockets use two different types of fuel, typically a fuel and an oxidizer. The fuel and oxidizer are stored separately and are mixed together in the combustion chamber to produce thrust.
Nuclear rockets
06
These rockets use nuclear reactors to generate thrust. They are still in the experimental stage and have not yet been used for spaceflight.
Electric rockets
07
hese rockets use electrically charged particles, such as ions, to generate thrust. They are more efficient than traditional rockets, but currently have lower thrust and are therefore only suitable for certain applications.
Each type of rocket has its own advantages and disadvantages, and is suited for different types of missions. The choice of rocket type depends on factors such as payload, destination, and mission duration.
Rockets come in various types based on engine and fuel types. Understanding their capabilities is critical for success in space missions.
