NASA Rocket Engine Fireplace

Just what you need for the holidays... the coziness of a crackling and roaring rocket engine!

For the #Spacetober prompt engine, a little fanciful, colourful drawing of a rocket engine.

Here, a Soyuz rocket takes off in 2023, carrying three of the Expedition 70 crew to the International Space Station. This initial stage of the Soyuz launch vehicle uses four identical rocket boosters lashed around the second stage core. Each of the boosters has a rocket engine with four combustion chambers (and thus four exhaust nozzles) of its own. That creates the fiery flurry of engine plumes seen here. Most of the exhaust plumes are directed downward to provide the thrust needed to lift the rocket, but you can see a few angled slightly to either side to help stabilize the launch vehicle as it rises.

The #engine section of a #Delta II #rocket.
The main engine is a #Rocketdyne #RS27A that burns kerosene and liquid oxygen.
On either side of the center engine nozzle, the two yellow and white portions that seem covered in fabric with red openings are #vernier thrusters to maintain attitude control.

#Rocket engines need to feed propellant, fuel and oxidizer, to the #combustion chamber as fast as possible, so some of the fuel is burned to create hot gas to drive a turbine that drives a turbopump.
The hot gas is then ejected from the #engine.
The designers of the pictured F-1 chose to vent the exhaust along the #RocketEngineโ€™s #nozzle, protecting it from the hotter gases from the main exhaust.
