Liquid rocket fuel. Oxidizer. Pumps carry the fuel and oxidizer. The combustion chamber mixes and burns the two liquids. The hot exhaust is choked at the throat, which, among other things, dictates the amount of thrust produced. Exhaust exits the rocket.

Liquid rocket boosters of Falcon Heavy are landing simultaneously on land The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to rocketry: Rocketry – The design and construction of rockets and rocket engines , and the vehicles, missiles , and other items propelled by them.
Thrust is generated by the propulsion system of the rocket through the application of Newton's third law of motion: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". A gas or working fluid is accelerated out the rear of the rocket engine nozzle, and the rocket is accelerated in the opposite direction.
RS-68 being tested at NASA's Stennis Space Center Viking 5C rocket engine used on Ariane 1 through Ariane 4. A rocket engine is a reaction engine, producing thrust in accordance with Newton's third law by ejecting reaction mass rearward, usually a high-speed jet of high-temperature gas produced by the combustion of rocket propellants stored inside the rocket.

The balloon rocket can be used easily to demonstrate simple physics, namely Newton’s third law of motion. [2] A common experiment with a balloon rocket consists in adding other objects such as a string or fishing line, a drinking straw and adhesive tape to the balloon itself. The string is threaded through the straw and is attached at both ...
