  1. Rocket Project Astronomy

  2. Darts

  3. Hellfire

  4. How a Rocket Works

  5. Solid Rocket Boosters

  6. Solid Rocket Boosters • Simple • Cheap • Safe But- • Thrust cannot be controlled. • Once ignited, the engine cannot be stopped or restarted.

  7. Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen - used in the Space Shuttle main engines • Gasoline and liquid oxygen - used in Goddard's early rockets • Kerosene and liquid oxygen - used on the first stage of the large Saturn V boosters in the Apollo program • Alcohol and liquid oxygen - used in the German V2 rockets • Nitrogen tetroxide/monomethyl hydrazine Liquid Propellant

  8. Other Fuels • Chemical reactions that produce gas are common for obvious reasons (lots of gas for a small amount of solid/liquid) • Any system that throw mass would suffice

  9. Other Fuels • Compressed Gas such as CO2 or liquid nitrogen • Fusion Reactors • Matter-antimatter • A baseball thrower • Plasma/Ion engines • Compressed air with water (Your rocket)

  10. How high does it go? • Use Trig

  11. Use Algebra y = vot + 1/2 gt2 V0 - initial velocity t-time g-acceleration due to gravity
