Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent handle rockets by launch vehicle, mission, history and hobby safety rules, without weapons design, propellant formulation or other harmful detail.

A vehicle or projectile propelled by a rocket engine that carries its own propellant and oxidiser, used for spaceflight, scientific sounding, hobby model rocketry and, historically and militarily, as weapons; described here at the level of spaceflight, history and hobby safety only.

What it is for: Launching satellites and people into space; science and hobby.

It can be look up launch vehicles and missions; find launch schedules and viewing information; follow model rocketry safety codes; learn rocket history from sources.

Distinguishing features

Carries its own oxidiser

Works in vacuum

Multistage for orbit

Heavily regulated

What it looks like

Tall cylindrical vehicles with engines at the base; small model rockets for hobbyists.

How it is recognised

Stages and fairings

Launch pads and plumes

Fireworks rockets are a separate product class
