A space rocket is a machine that, using a combustion engine, produces the kinetic energy

necessary for the expansion of gases, which is released through a propellant tube. By
extension, the vehicle, generally spatial, which has a propulsion motor of this type that is
called a rocket or missile. Normally, it is about sending artifacts or especially swords and
spaces to space.

A rocket is formed by a structure, a propulsion motor to a reaction and a payload. The


structure serves to protect the fuel and oxidant tanks and the payload. The propulsion engine
itself is also called a rocket.

Background

One of the rockets by Robert Hutchings Goddard.

The origin of the rocket is probably eastern. The first news that can be used in the year 1232,
in China, where gunpowder was invented.

There are stories of the use of rockets called flying fire arrows in the 13th century, in defense
of the capital of the Chinese province of Henan.

The rockets were introduced in Europe by the Arabs. During the XV and XVI centuries it was
used as an incendiary weapon. Later, with the improvement of the artillery, the warlike rocket
disappeared until the 19th century, and was used again during the Napoleonic Wars. The
rockets of the English colonel William Congreve were used in Spain during the siege of Cádiz
(1810), in the first Carlist War (1833-1840) and during the Moroccan War (1860).

Modern era

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, the first scientists who came to the rocket
in a system to help manned aerospace vehicles appeared. Among them stand out, the
Peruvian Pedro Paulet, the Russian Konstantin Tsiolkovski, the German Hermann Oberth and
the American Robert Hutchings Goddard, and, later the Russians Sergei Korolyov and Valentin
Gruchensko, and the German Wernher von Braun.

Robert Hutchings Goddard was responsible for the first flight of a rocket propelled with liquid
fuel, launched on March 16, 1926, in Auburn, Massachusetts, United States. The rockets built
by Goddard, although small, already had all the principles of the rockets, as guidance by
gyroscopes, for example.

Russian / Soviet R-7 rocket.

The Germans, led by Wernher von Braun, developed during the Second World War the rockets
V-1 and V-2 (A-4 in the German terminology), which were the basis for research on US rockets.
and of the USSR in the postwar period. Both Nazi bombs, used to bomb London at the end of
the war, can be defined as missiles. Actually, the V-1 does not become a rocket, but it is a
mistake that flies like a jet propulsion plane.

Rocket Saturn V being launched.


Initially, rockets specifically destined for military use, known as ballistic missiles, were
developed. The space programs that the Americans and the Russians launched were based on
rockets designed for astronautics purposes, derived from these rockets for military use.
Particularly the rockets used in the Soviet space program were derived from the R-7 ballistic
missile, which ended up being used to launch the Sputnik missions.

They emphasize, by the American side, the Astrobee, the Vanguard, the Redstone, the Atlas,
the Agena, the Thor-Agena, the Atlas-Centaur, the Delta series, the Titans and Saturn (among
which the Saturn V - the largest rocket of all time, which made the Apollo program possible),
and, on the Soviet side, the rockets designed for the letters A, B, C, D and G (these events
played a similar role to the US Saturn), called Proton.

Other countries that have built rocket, are France, Britain, Japan, China, Argentina, Brazil and
India, as well as the European consortium that the European Space Agency (ESA), which has
built and operated the rocket launcher Ariane.

Operating principle

Coherence engine

Principle of operation of the coherence motor: the gases expelled through the opening cause
an upward movement by reaction.

The operating principle of the coherence engine is based on Newton's third law, the law of
action and reaction, which says that "to every action corresponds a reaction, with the same
intensity, same direction and opposite direction".

Imagine a closed chamber where there is a burning gas. The burning of the gas will produce
pressure in all directions. The camera does not move in any direction as the forces on the
opposite walls of the camera will be nullified.

If we make an opening in the chamber, where the gases could escape, there will be an
imbalance. The pressure exerted on the walls lat
