The rocket exploded on the launch pad.

The rocket blew up a few seconds after launch.

A launch tube fits inside the nozzle of the rocket and extends upward toward the nose.

Its launch shroud and Soyuz booster were painted with the Japanese flag and advertisements.

For vertical launch of a rocket the initial thrust at liftoff must be more than the weight.

Further delays related to low cloud ceiling conditions downrange, and high winds and technical difficulties unrelated to the rocket itself prevented launch for a further two days.

August 22 A rocket explosion kills 21 at the Brazilian rocket complex in Alcântara, Brazil, due to the premature ignition of a solid rocket booster.

He remembered that was a perfectly safe sort of gantry system, perfectly safe rocket launch, because he's sitting in a rocket that has, like, a hundred thousand pounds of thrust, built by the lowest bidder.

On March 18, 1980, a Vostok rocket exploded on its launch pad during a fueling operation, killing 48 people.

Once they arrived at the launch pad, Sergei Korolev inspected the rocket and spacecraft for problems, and without finding any, the rocket was raised into the upright position.

Soyuz U was the basic platform for the development of the Soyuz FG launch vehicle, which uses an all new first stage.

CBERS 1 and CBERS 2 The first satellite of the series, CBERS 1, was successfully launched on October 14, 1999 on a Long March 4B.

The launch of New Horizons was originally scheduled for January 11, 2006, but was initially delayed until January 17, 2006 to allow for borescope inspections of the Atlas V's kerosene tank.

Within little more than a month, a satellite rocket is launched, albeit spectacularly misfiring, and all bets are off.

In September 1983, a Soyuz rocket being launched to carry cosmonauts to the Salyut 7 space station exploded on the pad, causing the Soyuz capsule's abort system to engage, saving the two cosmonauts on board.

A third attempted test flight was a launch failure a launch abort triggered a malfunction of the launch escape system, causing the rocket to explode on the pad.

April 11, 1961 On Baikonur cosmodrome on the morning of April 11, 1961, the Vostok K rocket, together with the attached Vostok 3KA spacecraft, were transported several miles to the launch pad, in a horizontal position.

As well as these components, rockets can have any number of other components, such as wings (rocketplanes), parachutes, wheels (rocket cars), even, in a sense, a person (rocket belt).

The rocket was huge.

The mission was planned to launch in late October or early November 1973, and would have used a Saturn V to send three men to fly past Venus in a flight lasting approximately one year.

The rocket was launched this morning.

It could travel about at an average speed of .

The so called Nedelin catastrophe in 1960 was a disastrous explosion of a fueled rocket being tested on launchpad, killing many technical personnel, aerospace engineers, and technicians working on the project at the time of the explosion.

Our rocket is being built.

A launch set for 19 November was delayed due to replacement and testing of a malfunctioning redundant inertial measurement unit on the Inertial Upper Stage booster attached to the Defense Support Program satellite.

My son designed a rocket that became stable, a golf ball rocket I thought it was quite an interesting experiment in the principles of rocket science and it flies straight as an arrow.

Sometimes, these mishaps have rendered the test equipment unusable, such as when the rocket in the Rocket Car Revisit exploded on ignition.

Two stage rockets, rockets with video cameras on them, on board computers logging their flights, rocket gliders that fly back to Earth.

This is that rocket going up.

We call it rocketcam.

The rocket was launched this morning.

Mavericks we had to call it Rocket Mavericks.

On April 5, 1975, Soyuz 7K T No.39, the second stage of a Soyuz rocket carrying 2 cosmonauts to the Salyut 4 space station malfunctioned, resulting in the first manned launch abort.

On October 4, 1957, they launched their rocket.

You would never, ever design a rocket like that.

The bad news is they re rocket fuels.

It consisted of a finned rocket ship on a wooden base.

Then, as the rocket dives down, velocity picks up again toward a maximum velocity and the rocket hits the ground.

This rocket goes up 135 miles into the sky.

The XMM Newton, also known as the X ray Multi Mirror Mission and the High Throughput X ray Spectroscopy Mission, is an orbiting X ray observatory launched by ESA in December 1999 on an Ariane 5 rocket.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Russian cosmist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky derived the famous rocket equation, the governing equation for a rocket based propulsion, based on the work of Pedro Paulet, enabling computation of the final velocity of a rocket from the mass of spacecraft (formula_1), combined mass of propellant and spacecraft (formula_2) and exhaust velocity of the propellant (formula_3).

France first proposed the Ariane project and it was officially agreed upon at the end of 1973 after delicate discussions between France, Germany and the UK.
