Scientific paper

Rocket propulsion has made a fundamental contribution to change in the human condition during the second half of the 20th Century. This paper presents a survey of the basic elements of and future prospects for liquid rocket propulsion systems, with emphasis placed on their bipropellant engines, which have contributed profoundly to the successes of this 'aerospace century.' Many technologies had to reach maturity simultaneously to enable our current progress: materials, electronics, guidance and control, systems engineering, and propulsion, made major contributions. However, chemical propellants and the engine systems required to extract and control their propulsive power successfully are at the heart of all that humankind has accomplished through space flight and the use of space for the betterment of all. And it is a fascinating story to tell.
