The rocket equation is rightfully the most known and most significant equation in space engineering. In this paragraph, we will show that to fully grasp its essence it is important to distinguish between two of its forms: the classical form, known as the Tsiolkovsky equation, in which the energy is propellant intrinsic (e.g. chemical propulsion) and the form in which the energy is propellant extrinsic (e.g. solar electric and nuclear). We will discuss the strengths and limits of this equation in the context of spaceship design as well at its key parameter.
