liquid rockets

Liquid rockets are spacecraft propulsion systems that use liquid propellants stored separately and combined in combustion chambers to produce thrust. These rockets offer precise control of engine power and can be shut down or restarted easily. They are used in many space missions due to their efficiency and reliability. The propellants are typically highly reactive liquids, like liquid oxygen and kerosene, which burn together to generate high-speed exhaust gases that propel the rocket forward. This technology contrasts with solid rockets, which contain pre-packed fuel that cannot be adjusted once ignited.
