* Spacecraft propulsion engines such as Rocket engine

Rocket propulsion has been implemented successfully by the Soviet Union for example in the VA-111 Shkval, and has been recently revived in Russian and German torpedoes as it is especially suitable for supercavitating devices.

The Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket ( VASIMR ) is an electro-magnetic thruster for spacecraft propulsion.

Oldsmobile's Rocket V8 engine was the leader in performance, generally considered the fastest cars on the market and by the mid 1950s their styling was among the first to offer a wide, " open maw " grille, suggestive of jet propulsion.

Research and tests were conducted involving the nation's candidates for its next-generation launch systems, X-33, X-34, the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle ( EELV ), and a master plan for rocket propulsion technology covering 15 years called Integrated High Payoff Rocket Propulsion Technology ( IHPRPT ).

The rocket propulsion group leads a national plan called Integrated High Payoff Rocket Propulsion Technology ( IHPRPT ) to identify needs, timetables, and demonstrable goals for improvements to rocket propulsion technology.

The 89-ton mockup is displayed as part of a complete Shuttle stack comprising the Pathfinder, the MPTA-ET external tank, which was used for propulsion tests with MPTA-098, and two prototype Advanced Solid Rocket Booster casings, which were developed after the Challenger accident but never put into production.

The thrust-to-weight ratio of a rocket, or rocket-propelled vehicle, is an indicator of its acceleration expressed in multiples of gravitational acceleration g .< ref name =" sutton "> George P. Sutton & Oscar Biblarz, Rocket Propulsion Elements ( p. 442, 7th edition ) “ thrust-to-weight ratio F / W < sub > g </ sub > is a dimensionless parameter that is identical to the acceleration of the rocket propulsion system ( expressed in multiples of g < sub > 0 </ sub >) if it could fly by itself in a gravity-free vacuum ”</ ref >

It is customary to calculate the thrust-to-weight ratio using initial gross weight at sea-level on earth .< ref > George P. Sutton & Oscar Biblarz, Rocket Propulsion Elements ( p. 442, 7th edition ) “ The loaded weight W < sub > g </ sub > is the sea-level initial gross weight of propellant and rocket propulsion system hardware .”</ ref > This is sometimes called Thrust-to-Earth-weight ratio.

In addition to these troops Belarus was the area of deployment for units subordinated directly to the USSR Defence Ministry and chiefs of different Soviet Armed Forces services, namely the 103rd Guards Airborne Division, the 38th Guards Airborne Brigade, the 11th corps of the 2nd Separate Air Defence Army, the 26th Air Army and also units and formations of the Strategic Rocket Forces, Long Range Aviation, the Navy and special forces.

In 1995 the Military Academy of Belarus was set up on the basis of two military educational institutions-the Minsk Air Defense and Rocket School of the Air Defence Forces and the Minsk Higher Military Command School.

In some groups, the slap bass was utilized as band percussion in lieu of a drummer ; such was the case with Bill Haley & His Saddlemen ( the forerunner group to the Comets ), which did not use drummers on recordings and live performances until late 1952 ; prior to this the slap bass was relied on for percussion, including on recordings such as Haley's versions of Rock the Joint and Rocket 88.

" He was discharged in 1946 and joined the Upper Atmosphere Rocket Program at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Silver Spring, Maryland, working there until 1950.

Stephenson's entry was Rocket, and its performance in winning the contest made it famous.

Heinlein's first novel published as a book, Rocket Ship Galileo, was initially rejected because going to the moon was considered too far out, but he soon found a publisher, Scribner's, that began publishing a Heinlein juvenile once a year for the Christmas season.

Contenders for the title of " first rock and roll record " include Goree Carter's " Rock Awhile " ( 1949 ); Jimmy Preston's " Rock the Joint " ( 1949 ), which was later covered by Bill Haley & His Comets in 1952 ; and " Rocket 88 " by Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats ( actually an alias for Ike Turner and his band The Kings of Rhythm ), recorded by Sam Phillips for Sun Records in March 1951.
