A booster is a rocket (or rocket engine) used either in the first stage of a multistage launch vehicle or in parallel with longer-burning sustainer rockets to augment the space vehicle's takeoff thrust and payload capability.

SLS's solid rocket boosters. A solid rocket booster (SRB) is a solid propellant motor used to provide thrust in spacecraft launches from initial launch through the first ascent.

2024年7月25日 · Five-Segment Solid Rocket Booster. The SLS booster is the largest, most powerful solid propellant booster to ever fly. Standing 17 stories tall and burning approximately six tons of propellant every second, each booster generates more thrust than 14 four-engine jumbo commercial airliners.

2023年9月23日 · NASA’s new rocket, the Space Launch System, is the only rocket that can send the Orion spacecraft, astronauts and a large cargo to the Moon on a single mission. The boosters contribute to the power that SLS needs to launch payloads with more mass and volume to deep space than any rocket ever built.

2022年8月16日 · Explore what a solid rocket booster is, what it is for, the types of rocket boosters, and how they work. FAQ and explanations for everyone.

The Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) was the first solid-propellant rocket to be used for primary propulsion on a vehicle used for human spaceflight. [1] A pair of them provided 85% of the Space Shuttle's thrust at liftoff and for the first two minutes of ascent.

The Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) element integrates all the subsystems needed for ascent flight, entry, and recovery of the combined Booster and Motor system. These include the structures, avionics, thrust vector control, pyrotechnic, range safety, deceleration, thermal protection, and retrieval systems.
