liquid fuel rockets

Liquid fuel rockets are engines that propel spacecraft using liquid propellants. These rockets store fuel and an oxidizer separately, which are mixed and ignited in a combustion chamber to produce hot gases. The gases expand and escape through a nozzle, generating thrust that pushes the rocket upward. This technology allows for precise control over the thrust and is highly efficient, making it suitable for launching satellites and crewed missions. Notable examples include NASA's Space Launch System and SpaceX's Falcon 9, which have advanced capabilities for reaching space and beyond.
