  2. Archimedes (rocket engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes_(rocket_engine)

    Archimedes is presented as a highly reusable liquid-propellant engine using methane and liquid oxygen in an oxidizer-rich staged combustion cycle. [1] [2] There are both sea-level and vacuum variants. The engine is mostly 3D printed, [7] with some of the biggest 3D printers in the world. The rationale for the cycle change from the original gas ...

  4. Liquid rocket propellant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_rocket_propellant

    Using liquid methane and liquid oxygen as propellants is sometimes called methalox propulsion. [19] Liquid methane has a lower specific impulse than liquid hydrogen, but is easier to store due to its higher boiling point and density, as well as its lack of hydrogen embrittlement. It also leaves less residue in the engines compared to kerosene ...

  5. Liquid oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_oxygen

    Liquid oxygen is the most common cryogenic liquid oxidizer propellant for spacecraft rocket applications, usually in combination with liquid hydrogen, kerosene or methane. [11] [12] Liquid oxygen was used in the first liquid fueled rocket. The World War II V-2 missile also used liquid oxygen under the name A-Stoff and Sauerstoff.

  6. Liquid-propellant rocket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-propellant_rocket

    Bipropellant liquid rockets use a liquid fuel such as liquid hydrogen or RP-1, and a liquid oxidizer such as liquid oxygen. The engine may be a cryogenic rocket engine , where the fuel and oxidizer, such as hydrogen and oxygen, are gases which have been liquefied at very low temperatures.
