DISCOV<strong>ER</strong>Y rocket Pronunciation: \rä-kət\ noun (It rocchetta) A vehicle, typically cylindrical, containing liquid or solid propellants which produce hot gases or ions that are ejected rearward through a nozzle and, in doing so, creates an action force accompanied by an opposite and equal reaction force driving the vehicle forward. Because rockets are selfcontained, they are able to operate in outer space. T A T E S S U N I T E D U S A 2
