Liquid rocket engine
A liquid rocket engine is a type of propulsion system that uses liquid fuel and an oxidizer to generate thrust. These components are stored separately and combined in a combustion chamber, where they ignite and produce high-speed exhaust gases that propel the rocket forward. This design allows for precise control of engine performance, including ignition, shutdown, and throttle adjustments. Liquid engines are efficient and reliable, making them ideal for space missions, rockets, and spacecraft. Their ability to be shut down and restarted during flight provides flexibility for complex maneuvers and mission planning.
