   For the simple list of all conventional launcher families, see: Comparison of orbital launchers families. For the list of predominantly solid-fueled orbital launch systems, see: Comparison of solid-fueled orbital launch systems. Spacecraft propulsion [note 1] is any method used to accelerate spacecraft and artificial satellites.

3. Medium-lift launch vehicle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-lift_launch_vehicle

   A medium-lift launch vehicle (MLV) is a rocket launch vehicle that is capable of lifting between 2,000 to 20,000 kg (4,400 to 44,100 lb) by NASA classification or between 5,000 to 20,000 kilograms (11,000 to 44,000 lb) by Russian classification [1] of payload into low Earth orbit (LEO). [2]

4. Gas spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_spring

   A gas spring consists of a sealed cylinder filled with a charge of high-pressure [5] gas, a piston rod attached to a piston with a sliding seal, and some oil. [1] The piston (or the cylinder wall) contains a number of channels that allow the gas to transfer between the lower chamber (between the piston and the closed end of the cylinder) and the upper chamber (between the piston and the head ...

8. Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_CH-53E_Super_Stallion

   YCH-53E testing showed that it could lift 17.8 short tons (16.1 t) (to a 50-foot (15 m) wheel height), and without an external load, could reach 170 knots (310 km/h) at a 56,000 lb (25 t) gross weight. This led to two preproduction aircraft and a static test article being ordered.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life-support_system

   The life support system of a surface saturation accommodation facility provides breathing gas and other services to support life for the personnel under pressure. It includes the following components: [ 12 ] Underwater habitats differ in that the ambient external pressure is the same as internal pressure, so some engineering problems are ...
