of his friends to help him build a rocket. They used terrible materials‚ and the rocket blew up their mother’s fence. They go to many different people for help on ideas‚ math and materials. After much hard work they finally build a rocket that launches into the air. The story keeps progressing and their rockets keep flying higher‚ as they get new ideas on how to build their rockets more effectively. One major person in helping them to develop their rockets is Miss Riley‚ their chemistry teacher

of when rockets were first invented is still unclear‚ it is believed that the Chinese invented the first “rocket” (“The History of Rocket Science”). Moreover‚ the Chinese used gunpowder‚ invented in around 100 A.D‚ and positioned it in Bamboo sticks for religious festival tradition (“The History of Rocket Science”). Large bamboo sticks were created and decorated by Monks and villagers‚ then blasted skyward to inform the Rain God Phaya Thaen that it is time to send rain down to earth (“Rocket Festival”)

provide the thrust that is needed for a plane to take off and fly through the air. Most spacecraft today are propelled by forcing a gas from the back/rear of the vehicle at very high speed through a supersonic nozzle. This sort of engine is called a rocket engine. Liquid fuel propulsion systems use a fuel‚ such as liquid hydrogen‚ kerosene or alcohol and liquids such as oxygen liquids. The oxygen liquids provides the oxygen necessary to ignite and burn the fuel‚ which in turn enables a spacecraft’s

History of Rockets Our time there has been an evolution in our history of rockets. It has been one man-kinds greatest invention for thousands of years. Rockets date back to 400 B.C in the city Tarentum from a roman writer named Aulus Gellius as he tells a story of a Greek‚ named Archytas. Archytas used his invention to amuse and baffle the people by flying a wooden pigeon using steam to propel the bird suspended off wires. Couple three hundred years later after the invention of Archytas flying

Engineering Period 5 Oct‚ 18 210 The rocket and recovery system Is a missile‚ spacecraft‚ aircraft or other vehicle which obtains thrust from a rocket engine. In all rockets‚ the exhaust is formed entirely from propellants carried within the rocket before use. Rocket engines work by action and reaction. Rocket engines push rockets forwards simply by throwing their exhaust backwards extremely fast. Usually the rocket are propellant by chemical‚ and this rockets store a large amount of energy in an
