ROCKET PROPULSION

ROCKET PROPULSION

Rocket Propulsion is a comprehensive course designed to introduce you to the science and engineering of propelling rockets into space. Beginning with the basic principles of Newtonian mechanics, this course will explore how these principles are applied in the context of rocket motion and propulsion. You will learn about different types of propulsion systems, including chemical rockets, electric propulsion, and emerging technologies such as nuclear thermal propulsion. The course will cover the key components of rocket engines, the types of propellants used, and the thermodynamic cycles involved in propulsion. Additionally, the course will discuss the challenges in rocket design, including thermal management, structural integrity, and fuel efficiency. By the end of the course, you will have a thorough understanding of how rockets are designed, tested, and launched, and the critical role propulsion plays in these processes.
