One efficient way of propelling a spacecraft in space is by means of a rocket (thruster). It is important to understand the process which governs the action. The propulsion system of all rockets consists of a fuel storage system of which there are many different types, due to the different varieties of fuels. There must also be a fuel transport system. The fuel is then expanded in an expansion region, triggered by some form of combustion, and is then accelerated to the nozzle region where it is expelled through the nozzle. The expelled propellant from the rocket comes out and creates a plume. The plume's interaction with spacecraft structures is the focus of this study.
