24Single-stage-to-orbit — The VentureStar was a proposed SSTO spaceplane. A single stage to orbit (or SSTO) vehicle reaches orbit from the surface of a body without jettisoning hardware, expending only propellants and fluids. The term usually, but not exclusively, refers… …
25Rocket 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) …
26Non-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… …
27History of submarines — The history of submarines covers the historical chronology and facts related to submarines , manned autonomous boats that operate underwater. It includes the history of submersibles , which were designed primarily to operate on the surface, and… …
28Specific impulse — (usually abbreviated I sp) is a way to describe the efficiency of rocket and jet engines. It represents the impulse (change in momentum) per unit of propellant. The higher the specific impulse, the less propellant is needed to gain a given amount …
