ocket<br />

Pronunciation: \rä-kət\ noun (It rocchetta)<br />

A vehicle, typically cylindrical, containing liquid or solid<br />

propellants which produce hot gases or ions that are<br />

ejected rearward through a nozzle and, in doing so,<br />

create an action force accompanied by an opposite and<br />

equal reaction force driving the vehicle forward. Because<br />

<strong>rocket</strong>s are self-contained, they are able to operate in<br />

outer space.<br />
