Rocket Launch Thrusters Nasa

NASA uses various types of rocket engines and thrusters for launching spacecraft. The main engines in a rocket are typically liquid rocket engines, like the RS-25 engines used on the Space Launch System (SLS). Solid rocket boosters are also used during the initial phases of launch.

For smaller maneuvers and adjustments in space, NASA employs thrusters like the Draco thrusters on the Dragon spacecraft or the reaction control system (RCS) thrusters on the International Space Station.
