But an even bigger facility would be needed for the mammoth rocket required for the manned lunar mission, so land acquisition was started in July 1961 for a Launch Operations Center ( LOC ) immediately north of Canaveral at Merritt Island.

The design, development and construction of the center was conducted by Kurt H. Debus, a member of Dr. Wernher von Braun's original V-2 rocket engineering team.

The rocket was returned to the Vehicle Assembly Building, the fuel tank replaced and the rocket returned to the launch pad in February in time for the scheduled launch.

The AAM-N-6a was similar to the-6, but used a new Thiokol liquid-fuel rocket engine for improved performance.

It was powered by the Aerojet Mk52 mod 2 rocket engine ( later by the Rocketdyne Mk38 mod 4 ).

Colonel Kari Renko, an engineer at the Finnish Air Force, was quoted by Helsingin Sanomat as saying about this failure, " The problem involves the rocket engines which have been in use for decades " and that Finland first was told of the problems by the Americans about two years ago.

This pen was widely known as the rocket in the U. S. into the late 1950s.

It was powered by a two-chamber Armstrong Siddeley Stentor Mark 101 rocket engine, burning a combination of hydrogen peroxide and kerosene.

Members of CAC led the ESA funded CACTEX ( Chalmers Aerospace Club Thermal EXperiment ) project where the thermal conductivity of alcohol at zero gravity was investigated using a sounding rocket.

During the Cold War, the ČSLA was equipped primarily with Soviet arms, although certain arms like the OT-64 SKOT armored personnel carrier, the L-29 Delfín and L-39 Albatros aircraft, the P-27 Pancéřovka antitank rocket launcher, the Sa vz.

" In John Byrne's 1986 origin version The Man of Steel, instead of adopting him through an orphanage, the Kents passed Clark off as their own child after their farm was isolated for months by a series of snowstorms that took place shortly after they found his rocket, using their past medical history of various miscarriages to account for their reasons for keeping Martha's pregnancy secret.

As a result of their rearing, Kal-El grows up to think of himself as Clark Kent, completely unaware of his alien heritage until he was well into adulthood ( the fact that the Kents found him sometime just after the Cold War meant that the Kents assumed the rocket they found him in was from an Earth-based space program-possibly that of Communist Russia-and that Clark had superhuman abilities because he was either a metahuman or some kind of genetic experiment ).

Throughout the first seven seasons of the series he has a complicated relationship with Lana Lang, as well as his self-perceived guilt over the fact that the meteor shower that killed Lana's parents and created most of the superhumans he fought in the show's first few years was caused by his rocket coming to Earth and dragging pieces of Krypton with it.

In the 13th century, the solid rocket motor was invented in China.

It was successfully launched on 27 April 2008 at 22: 16 UTC ( 4. 16 a. m. Baikonur time ) aboard a Soyuz-FG / Fregat rocket provided by Starsem.

Helium use following World War II was depressed but the reserve was expanded in the 1950s to ensure a supply of liquid helium as a coolant to create oxygen / hydrogen rocket fuel ( among other uses ) during the Space Race and Cold War.

* In April 1996, after continued Hezbollah rocket attacks on Israeli civilians, the Israeli armed forces launched Operation Grapes of Wrath, which was intended to wipe out Hezbollah's base in southern Lebanon.

Hezbollah was responsible for thousands of Katyusha rocket attacks against Israeli civilian towns and cities in northern Israel, which Hezbollah said were in retaliation for Israel's killing of civilians and targeting Lebanese infrastructure.

Since propellant typically represents the majority of the takeoff weight of a rocket, HOTOL was to be considerably smaller than normal pure-rocket designs, roughly the size of a medium-haul airliner such as the McDonnell Douglas DC-9 / MD-80.

The engine was intended to switch from jet propulsion to pure rocket propulsion at 26 – 32 km high, by which time the craft would be travelling at Mach 5 to 7.

The internal landing gear would have been too small to carry the weight of the fully fueled rocket, so emergency landings would have required the fuel to be dumped.

He calculated the orbital speed required for a minimal orbit around the Earth at 8 km / s, and that a multi-stage rocket fueled by liquid propellants could be used to achieve this.

A nuclear salt-water rocket ( or NSWR ) is a proposed type of nuclear thermal rocket designed by Robert Zubrin that would be fueled by water bearing dissolved salts of Plutonium or U < sup > 235 </ sup >.

The Soviet VVS used a modified MiG-19 fighter, designated SM-30, launched from a special launcher, and using a nearly identical solid fueled rocket booster design to that of the EF-84G.

A key item in that plan is liquid fueled rocket propulsion component integration and testing, called Integrated Powerhead Demonstration or IPD.

In this park there is a model of Dr. Goddard's prototype liquid fueled rocket and a Polaris Ballistic Missile ( Type A-1 ).

However, Galileo's intended booster, the cryogenically fueled ( Hydrogen / Oxygen ) Centaur booster rocket was prohibited as a Shuttle " cargo " for safety considerations following the loss of the Space Shuttle Challenger.

In some kerosene fueled rockets, UDMH functions as a starter fuel to start combustion and warm the rocket engine prior to switching to kerosene.

Another disadvantage is the poor storability of LH2 / LOX-powered rockets: Due to the constant hydrogen boil-off, the rocket can only be fueled shortly before launch, which makes cryogenic engines unsuitable for ICBMs and other rocket applications with the need for short launch preparations.

The second,, described a rocket fueled with gasoline and liquid nitrous oxide.

On release a small liquid fueled rocket fired to speed up the weapon and get it out in front of the bomber, which was flown to approach the target just off to one side.

Convair had come a close second but Glennan did not want to monopolize the liquid hydrogen fueled rocket market as Convair was already building the Centaur rocket stage.

The final version consisted of a four-stage rocket fueled by diglycol propellant, and reached over 220 km in testing.

After the change only the Delta IV's RS-68 engine was considered by NASA for the new cryogenically fueled Ares V rocket.

The Rocketdyne-developed F-1 engine is the most powerful single-nozzle liquid fueled rocket engine ever used in service.

The overall mass of the fully fueled craft is, of which is taken by the fully loaded rocket motor.

Goddard Rocket: Replica of Robert H. Goddard's first liquid fueled rocket flown March 16, 1926.

Prior to that the Reaction Research Society on November 23, 1996 launched a solid fueled rocket, designed by longtime member George Garboden, to an altitude of 50 miles ( 80 km ) from the Black Rock Desert in Nevada.

The Kh-22 uses an Isayev liquid-fuel rocket engine, fueled with hydrazine and IRFNA ( inhibited red fuming nitric acid ), giving it a maximum speed of Mach 4 and a range of up to.

The Soviet Energia rocket of the 1980s used four Zenit liquid fueled boosters to loft both the Shuttle Buran and the experimental Polyus space battlestation in two separate launches.

It is believed to be a liquid fueled rocket upper stage capable of boosting a payload of up to 4, 000 lb ( 1, 800 kg ) into Earth orbit.
