Liquid propellant rockets

Liquid propellant rockets use liquid fuels and oxidizers stored separately, which are combined in a combustion chamber to produce thrust. This controlled mixing allows precise engine management, such as throttling or shutting down mid-flight. Typically, fuels like liquid hydrogen or RP-1 kerosene, and oxidizers such as liquid oxygen, are used. When they ignite, they generate high-pressure gases that expand and exit through a nozzle, propelling the rocket forward according to Newton's third law. Liquid rockets are favored for their efficiency, reusability, and ability to be restarted during missions, making them essential for space exploration and satellite deployment.
