laser-propulsion rocket engine
1Rocket engine — RS 68 being tested at NASA s Stennis Space Center. The nearly transparent exhaust is due to this engine s exhaust being mostly superheated steam (water vapor from its propellants, hydrogen and oxygen) …
2Laser propulsion — is a form of Beam powered propulsion where the energy source is a remote (usually ground based) laser system. This form of propulsion differs from a conventional chemical rocket where both energy and reaction mass come from the solid or liquid… …
3Propulsion nucleaire thermique — Propulsion nucléaire thermique La propulsion nucléaire thermique ou nucléo thermique est un mode de propulsion des fusées qui utilise un réacteur nucléaire pour chauffer un fluide propulsif. Celui ci, comme dans le cas d un moteur fusée classique …
4rocket and missile system — ▪ weapons system Introduction any of a variety of weapons systems that deliver explosive warheads to their targets by means of rocket propulsion. Rocket is a general term used broadly to describe a variety of jet propelled missiles… …
5Propulsion nucléaire thermique — La propulsion nucléaire thermique ou nucléo thermique est un mode de propulsion des fusées qui utilise un réacteur nucléaire pour chauffer un fluide propulsif. Celui ci, comme dans le cas d un moteur fusée classique, est expulsé via une tuyère… …
6Propulsion radioisotopique — La propulsion radioisotopique est une technique de propulsion spatiale nucléaire utilisant la chaleur dégagée par la désintégration radioactive d un élément pour chauffer un fluide qui est alors éjecté par une tuyère. Le principe est très… …
7Spacecraft propulsion — A remote camera captures a close up view of a Space Shuttle Main Engine during a test firing at the John C. Stennis Space Center in Hancock County, Mississippi Spacecraft propulsion is any method used to accelerate spacecraft and artificial… …
8Non-rocket spacelaunch — Non rocket space launch (NRS) is a launch into space where some or all needed speed and altitude is provided by non rocket means, rather than simply using conventional chemical rockets from the ground. A number of alternatives to rockets have… …
9Nuclear thermal rocket — Sketch of nuclear thermal rocket …
10Internal combustion engine — The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel (normally a fossil fuel) occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high temperature and high …
