The Pencil Rocket (ペンシルロケット, Penshiru roketto) was developed by the Avionics and Supersonic Aerodynamics (AVSA) research group in the early days of the Japanese space program. [1] A prominent engineer on the project was Hideo Itokawa. The rocket was first launched on 12 April 1955.
The only Universal Rocket to make it past the design phase was the UR-500 while the N1 was selected to be the Soviets' HLV for lunar and Martian missions. [65] The UR-900, proposed in 1969, would have had a payload capacity of 240 t (530,000 lb) to low earth orbit. It never left the drawing board. [66]
Drawing of the He 176 V1 prototype rocket aircraft. By the late 1930s, use of rocket propulsion for crewed flight began to be seriously experimented with, as Germany's Heinkel He 176 made the first crewed rocket-powered flight using a liquid rocket engine, designed by German aeronautics engineer Hellmuth Walter on June 20, 1939.

The Super Soaker, the Nerf dart guns, my invention on the Galileo spacecraft, the lithium battery technology that I'm developing right now, the solid state batteries as well as the lithium fuel cells.
The second stage of a Minuteman III rocket. A multistage rocket or step rocket [1] is a launch vehicle that uses two or more rocket stages, each of which contains its own engines and propellant. A tandem or serial stage is mounted on top of another stage; a parallel stage is attached alongside another stage. The result is effectively two or ...
