There can only be one best type and style of rocket. In order to have the best type and style of rocket it needs the correct fuel so the rocket has enough thrust to fly high. A rocket needs the right shape and size in order to fly straight and be aerodynamic. Another element rocket need are fins and it needs to be the right shape, position and size so it can help the rocket fly. The nose piece shape and size of a rocket is also important because the rocket needs to have no edges so there is less air drag and the nose piece stops that. For a rocket to fly in the air it needs thrust and thrust has to use fuel. There are different types of fuel a rocket can use, there is solid and liquid fuel. They are known to be the most used and easy to use. Solid fuel never stops burning, once it starts the burning does not stop. Solid fuel can only burn for two minutes and can easily evaporate at normal temperatures. Since it can’t stop burning and is easily evaporated it is used in missiles, commercial rocket and wood stoves. Liquid fuel can be used on space travels and missions. This type of fuel is best used for space travel for the reason that it is long lasting. Liquid fuel other than the solid fuel can …show more content…

Types of rockets in the world can include The Ion rocket and a Small Satellite. The Ion rockets use solar cells to make electrical energy into thrust. The Ion rocket can not carry any chemicals on a mission. It is used for pushing satellites into the right position. There are Small satellites that can fly around the earth’s wide range of orbit. It has low thrust being that it does not need much to orbit Earth and the cost is very low. The Small satellites do not do much other than orbit Earth and help bring signals to Earth. So, the Ion rocket is better for long distance and pushing weight while The Small satellites just
