| book description |

Rocket propulsion is at the centre of modern space exploration and has opened the doors for humanity to reach greater heights, deeper into space, and the more difficult profiles of missions. The rapid development of materials, combustion technologies, hybrid systems, and electric propulsion has led to the evolution of the field at an exceptional rate. An understanding of these systems is a prerequisite for the development of launch vehicles and spacecraft that are not only safe and efficient but also eco-friendly. The book Advanced Rocket Propulsion Systems: Foundations, Innovations, and Applications in Space Exploration gives a detailed account of all the conventional and emerging propulsion technologies. It discusses the basic principles, thermochemical processes, engine cycles, nozzle performance, hybrid and electric propulsion systems, and eco-friendly propellants. The book provides the readers with access to the latest global advancements in aerospace propulsion through simple and easy to comprehend explanations as well as revealing insights. Besides aerospace engineers, propulsion scientists, and space technology practitioners the book is for general readers who wish to acquire a firm understanding of contemporary rocket propulsion systems. Furthermore, it is an excellent resource for educational institutions and young engineers.
