What (who) is rocket propulsion - definition

METHOD USED TO ACCELERATE SPACECRAFT

Rocket propulsion; SpacecraftPropulsion; Space propulsion; Space drive; Space drives; Microthruster; Spacecraft Propulsion; In-space propulsion technologies; Space Propulsion; Possible future space propulsion; Satellite propulsion

Spacecraft propulsion

Spacecraft propulsion is any method used to accelerate spacecraft and artificial satellites. In-space propulsion exclusively deals with propulsion systems used in the vacuum of space and should not be confused with space launch or atmospheric entry.

Spacecraft electric propulsion

SPACECRAFT PROPULSION SYSTEM WHICH USES ELECTRICITY

Electrothermal propulsion; Electric propulsion; Electrically-powered spacecraft propulsion; Electropropulsion; Electric rocket; Electrical propulsion; Electrical propulsion system; Electrically powered spacecraft propulsion

Spacecraft electric propulsion (or just electric propulsion) is a type of spacecraft propulsion technique that uses electrostatic or electromagnetic fields to accelerate mass to high speed and thus generate thrust to modify the velocity of a spacecraft in orbit. The propulsion system is controlled by power electronics.

Wikipedia

Spacecraft propulsion

Spacecraft propulsion is any method used to accelerate spacecraft and artificial satellites. In-space propulsion exclusively deals with propulsion systems used in the vacuum of space and should not be confused with space launch or atmospheric entry.

Several methods of pragmatic spacecraft propulsion have been developed each having its own drawbacks and advantages. Most satellites have simple reliable chemical thrusters (often monopropellant rockets) or resistojet rockets for orbital station-keeping and some use momentum wheels for attitude control. Soviet bloc satellites have used electric propulsion for decades, and newer Western geo-orbiting spacecraft are starting to use them for north–south station-keeping and orbit raising. Interplanetary vehicles mostly use chemical rockets as well, although a few have used ion thrusters and Hall-effect thrusters (two different types of electric propulsion) to great success.

Hypothetical in-space propulsion technologies describe the propulsion technologies that could meet future space science and exploration needs. These propulsion technologies are intended to provide effective exploration of the Solar System and will permit mission designers to plan missions to "fly anytime, anywhere, and complete a host of science objectives at the destinations" and with greater reliability and safety. With a wide range of possible missions and candidate propulsion technologies, the question of which technologies are "best" for future missions is a difficult one. A portfolio of propulsion technologies should be developed to provide optimum solutions for a diverse set of missions and destinations.

Examples of use of rocket propulsion

1. The Israeli Defense Ministry refused to provide details concerning the type of missile and the purpose it served, but said that the experiment tested the missile’s rocket propulsion system, and was successful. «The IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) has conducted a rocket propulsion test at Palmachim as part of its missile development program,» the defense establishment said.

2. "I‘d read about Robert Goddard [the father of modern rocket propulsion] and his rockets out in New Mexico, and I had read a lot of science fiction.

3. "A test was conducted in the framework of examining the rocket propulsion system for satellite launchers," a laconic ministry statement said.

4. The sophisticated missile, which uses an integral ramjet rocket propulsion system and has low reaction time, operates in conjunction with the indigenously built Rajendra surveillance and engagement radar being developed by the Hyderabad–based Electronic Research and Development Establishment (ERDE). The radar was capable of tracking 64 targets and guide up to 12 missiles simultaneously.

5. Israel‘s Defence Ministry said in a brief statement: "A successful missile launch was carried out within the framework of examining rocket propulsion." Israel Radio said the missile tested was capable of carrying an "unconventional payload" –– an apparent reference to the nuclear warheads Israel is assumed to possess, though whose existence it has never publicly confirmed.
