This page is an incomplete list of orbital rocket engine data and specifications. ... 5.97: Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster [k] ... Comparison of space station ...
Falcon 9 Block 5, the most prolific active orbital launch system in the world. This comparison of orbital launch systems lists the attributes of all current and future individual rocket configurations designed to reach orbit. A first list contains rockets that are operational or have attempted an orbital flight attempt as of 2024; a second list ...
A Saturn V rocket, one of the most powerful operational launch vehicles to date. This article compares different orbital launcher families (launchers which are significantly different from other members of the same 'family' have separate entries).
The Vulcain for the Ariane 5 rocket uses a similar cycle design to F-1 engine, with the turbine exhaust gases piped directly overboard. As part of the Space Launch System (SLS) program, NASA had been running the Advanced Booster Competition, which was scheduled to end with the selection of a winning booster configuration in 2015.
The RS-25 engine consists of pumps, valves, and other components working in concert to produce thrust. Fuel (liquid hydrogen) and oxidizer (liquid oxygen) from the Space Shuttle's external tank entered the orbiter at the umbilical disconnect valves and from there flowed through the orbiter's main propulsion system (MPS) feed lines; whereas in the Space Launch System (SLS), fuel and oxidizer ...

Rocket 3 – Retired; Rocket 4 – Under development; Athena – Retired. Athena I; Athena II; Atlas. Atlas B – Retired; Atlas D – Retired; Atlas-Able – Retired; Atlas-Agena ...
The Shuttle would handle space station logistics, while the Saturn V would launch components. This would have allowed the International Space Station, using a Skylab or Mir configuration with both U.S. and Russian docking ports, to have been lifted with just a handful of launches. However, it was ultimately rejected on basis of cost.
A series of launch vehicles was proposed, based on the proposed Space Transportation Main Engine (STME) liquid-fuel rocket engine. The STME was to be a simplified, expendable version of the RS-25 engine. The NLS-1 was the largest of the three proposed vehicles and would have used a modified Space Shuttle external tank for its core
