The manufacture of space rockets and aerospace technology has become one of the most important fields of invention and scientific research, and it is believed that the beginning of the manufacture of rockets was at the hands of the Arabs when they used rockets to repel the attacks of the Crusaders, and the manufacture of air and space vehicles is one of the most complex industries, as it is the fruit of the effort of a large number of scientists since Work to develop the space industry began after the Second World War, and space technology is considered the best product of advanced human thought, since the beginning of the human need for space exploration, the need to work on developing space rocket technology so that humans can escape from the Earth's atmosphere to escape into space.
In the beginning, to get acquainted with the process of making space rockets, we must list some information about space rockets, a rocket is an engine that produces very high energy, much larger than other types of engines of the same size, and the word rocket is used to describe vehicles that are propelled by rockets, and the estimated size The energy produced by the screamer is more than 3000 times the energy produced by a car engine. The energy produced by the rocket requires a huge amount of fuel, which is burned very quickly, and therefore it requires the presence of special fuel when making space rockets so that the rockets can burst into the air, and the rocket becomes very hot when burning the fuel, sometimes the engine temperature reaches To more than 3000 degrees Celsius. Rockets are manufactured in several sizes, some of which are used to throw fireworks, and its length is about 60 cm, and rockets are also used to hit distant enemy targets, and the length of these rockets ranges from 15 to 30 meters, in addition to the large rockets that carry satellites and astronauts outside the range of the cover Aerial to Earth, and the length of the Saturn-V made by NASA and the Starship made by SpaceX has reached more than 110 meters.
And work began on the interest in developing the space rocket industry after World War II, as the work on developing the rocket engines was a complex process to make it withstand high temperatures and high mechanical forces in addition to high pressure, and also to maintain the lightweight of the rocket.
In the field of the space missile industry, the types of missiles are divided into four main types: solid-propellant rockets, liquid-fuel rockets, nuclear rockets, and electric rockets. We will know in detail about these types in the second article
