Rocket launches

Rocket launches involve propelling a vehicle into space using powerful engines that burn fuel, creating thrust. The rocket's fuel combines with oxidizer, producing high-pressure gases expelled through a nozzle, pushing the rocket upward in accordance with Newton's third law. The launch begins on the ground, where the rocket lifts off, passing through Earth's atmosphere into space. Guidance systems steer the rocket along its trajectory, reaching specific orbits or destinations. Rockets are used for satellite deployment, scientific exploration, and crewed missions, all requiring precise engineering to overcome Earth's gravity and carry payloads into space safely and efficiently.
