Chemistry of the Rocket Fuel
Rockets are one of the ways that help explore space. Rockets allow people to launch satellites, and some of those satellites are engineered to help explore space. Without rockets, it would be very hard to understand space since the satellites that are out in space produce much more accurate and precise information. For example, the Kepler Space Telescope(a satellite that explores planets in different places around the galaxy) was able to gain lots of data on exoplanets. The observatories on Earth are not able to use such accuracy as Kepler Space Telescope. Without rockets, satellites like these can not be launched into space. This post will be about how the physics and chemistry of rockets(this will be oversimplified because rocket science is a very complicated topic). First, let's start off with the chemistry of rockets. There are different types of rockets, but for now, we will be talking about liquid fuel rockets. In rockets, there are many different typ...
