    ROCKET PROPULSION ELEMENTS

    The book’s cover shows a typical separation of a payload stage or satellite from
    an upper stage of a space flight vehicle in the vacuum of space. There are two
    rocket propulsion systems. The liquid propellant rocket engine on the upper stage
    (on the lower left) has just lifted the satellite into space and has just been shut
    down. The reaction control system on the payload stage has four small inclined
    thrusters, which can be seen during their firing operation; they are moving the
    payload away from the expended upper stage. A small thruster’s plume (flame)
    has a bright, elliptically shaped, hot gas, very small core, which is visible. The
    hot exhaust gases disperse from this core in all directions, and this part of the
    plume is almost invisible.
