The Rocket Propulsion course provides the basic theory and
the physical-mathematical tools necessary for the analysis and design of
rocket propulsion systems, presents and discusses the main performance
parameters of rockets and introduces the main families of chemical
rockets by analyzing their characteristic components and their influence
on design and performance. The course also provides the student with a
series of calculation examples aimed at fixing the theory and comparing
it with typical examples of rocket motors used in launchers and in space
propulsion.
