A rocket (Italian rocchetta' spindle, from which Conrad Haas coined the term rackette) is a projectile with recoil propulsion (rocket propulsion). It can also be independent of external material supply (e.g. oxidizer) during operation and can therefore accelerate even in a vacuum. Rockets are used in particular as a military weapon, in space travel, as a signal and as fireworks. In contrast to projectiles, rockets have long acceleration phases. Because of the much lower loads that this causes, the structure of the rocket can be kept very light. Rockets range in size from firework rockets to the giant Energija or the Saturn V, which was used in the Apollo programme - the manned flight to the moon.
