Liquid-fuel rocket technology

Liquid-fuel rocket technology involves using liquid propellants—fuel and oxidizer—that are stored separately and combined in engines to produce thrust. When ignited, these liquids burn rapidly, creating high-pressure gases that are expelled through nozzles at high speed to propel the rocket forward. This system allows for precise control of engine thrust, making it versatile for space missions. Common propellants include liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. Liquid-fuel rockets are reliable and efficient, enabling large payloads and deep-space exploration, and are used in many spacecraft, including crewed missions and satellite deployments.
