RP-1

RP-1, also known as Rocket Propellant-1, is a highly refined form of kerosene used as a rocket fuel. It provides the energy needed for rockets to launch, power engines, and reach space. When combined with liquid oxygen (LOX) as an oxidizer, RP-1 enables efficient combustion in rocket engines. Its chemical stability, storability, and high energy density make it a popular choice for space missions, including those by SpaceX and other space agencies. In essence, RP-1 is a specialized fuel that helps propel spacecraft beyond Earth's atmosphere.
