Different Types of Rockets

There are many types of rockets, each with different characteristics and functions. Launch rockets, such as the Saturn V used to send NASA astronauts to the Moon, are designed to propel heavy payloads into space. Propulsion rockets, such as reaction engines, are used to keep satellites in orbit. And finally, multi-stage propulsion rockets, such as the Ariane 5 launcher, are used to propel heavy payloads into geostationary orbit.

The History of Rockets

Rockets were first used about 2000 years ago in China, where they were used for fireworks and celebrations. The first modern rockets were developed in the 19th century and were primarily used for military applications. Rockets then started to be used for space applications in the 1950s and 1960s when the United States and the Soviet Union began sending satellites and men into space.
