SRB (Solid Rocket Booster)

Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) are propulsion devices used to launch rockets into space. They are filled with solid fuel that burns to produce thrust. Unlike liquid fuel rockets, SRBs are simpler and provide a powerful initial boost during the launch, helping the rocket overcome Earth's gravity. Once their fuel is expended, they detach and fall back to Earth, often to be recovered and reused. SRBs played a significant role in programs like NASA's Space Shuttle, where they contributed to the acceleration required to reach orbit. Their reliability and efficiency make them crucial in space exploration.
