  2. Tsiolkovsky rocket equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsiolkovsky_rocket_equation

    A rocket's required mass ratio as a function of effective exhaust velocity ratio. The classical rocket equation, or ideal rocket equation is a mathematical equation that describes the motion of vehicles that follow the basic principle of a rocket: a device that can apply acceleration to itself using thrust by expelling part of its mass with high velocity and can thereby move due to the ...

  3. Mass ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_ratio

    The definition arises naturally from Tsiolkovsky's rocket equation: = ⁡ where Δv is the desired change in the rocket's velocity; v e is the effective exhaust velocity (see specific impulse) m 0 is the initial mass (rocket plus contents plus propellant)

  4. Specific impulse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_impulse

    The specific impulse of a rocket can be defined in terms of thrust per unit mass flow of propellant. This is an equally valid (and in some ways somewhat simpler) way of defining the effectiveness of a rocket propellant. For a rocket, the specific impulse defined in this way is simply the effective exhaust velocity relative to the rocket, v e ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_of_Rockets

    Summer of Rockets is a six-episode British Cold War television miniseries, which premiered on BBC Two in the United Kingdom on 22 May 2019. The series was written and directed by Stephen Poliakoff and stars Keeley Hawes, Linus Roache, Timothy Spall and Toby Stephens. [1]

  6. Orbital maneuver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_maneuver

    The Tsiolkovsky rocket equation, or ideal rocket equation, can be useful for analysis of maneuvers by vehicles using rocket propulsion. [2] A rocket applies acceleration to itself (a thrust) by expelling part of its mass at high speed. The rocket itself moves due to the conservation of momentum.

  7. History of rockets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_rockets

    The Tsiolkovsky rocket equation—the principle that governs rocket propulsion—is named in his honor (although it had been discovered previously, Tsiolkovsky is honored as being the first to apply it to the question of whether rockets could achieve speeds necessary for space travel). [70]
