Description
-
Rocket propulsion has progressed rapidly from the relatively crude liquid rocket engines of a few short years ago to the sophisticated electrical propulsion devices of tomorrow. By faithful application of certain basic principles of propulsion to chemical systems, nuclear systems and conducting-gas devices, our ability to efficiently propel a great variety of space vehicles has improved at an encouraging rate.
