Liquid Fuel Rocket

A Liquid Fuel Rocket is a kind of Maneuver Drive used on vessels.

• They are also commonly called Relativistic Drives or Reaction Drives among other terms.
• It is a kind of Ship Equipment.

Description (Specifications)

A liquid fuel rocket carries its propellant and fuel as two separate liquids, which are combined in a thrust chamber to produce thrust. Liquid Fuel rockets are the standard Rocket Drives. Liquid Fuel Rockets typically utilize Liquid Hydrogen (LHyd) as the reactant and Liquid Oxygen (LOX) as an oxidizer. Other types of liquid fuels such as Hydrocarbon distillates and peroxide (H₂O₂) or hypergolic fuels are also occasionally employed, although the costs and environmental disadvantages of using hydrocarbons generally outweigh any conceivable advantages. One type which works well is the Propylene/Hydrogen Peroxide engine system, using a hydrocarbon fuel ([C₃H₆]_n) and H₂O₂ oxidizer.

History & Background (Dossier)

Liquid Fuel Rockets are the basic start-up technology that most civilizations use to get off their world and into space. The high power of these engines make them good Heavy Lift Vehicles (HLVs) but also make them very fuel hungry. The rockets most frequently encountered in Charted Space (98% of the time) are cryogenically fueled (liquid hydrogen (LHyd) and liquid oxygen (LOX)).
