A rocket is a vehicle or device that generates thrust by expelling exhaust at high speed, allowing it to travel through the atmosphere and into space. Powered by chemical propulsion or emerging technologies like electric or nuclear propulsion, rockets are essential for launching satellites, exploring other planets, and enabling human spaceflight. Research on rockets spans aerospace engineering, materials science, combustion physics, and orbital mechanics, with applications ranging from scientific exploration to telecommunications and defense. As space missions become more ambitious, rockets remain at the core of humanity’s efforts to reach beyond Earth.
