Rocket propulsion systems are classified into chemical, nuclear and electric propulsion systems of which only chemical propulsion systems are in operational use; propellant characteristics and performance; design parameters which have large effect on final performance of vehicle are considered; liquid rocket engine performance with particular reference to monopropellant, bipropellant, and pump-fed systems; solid rocket engine operation; future requirements.
