Although less than 1% of a rocket’s mechanical power is converted into sound, a #rocket like the #SaturnV can radiated nearly 250 MW of sound power. This can damage buildings, equipment, as well as your hearing. #acoustics #space #rocketengines #physics pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/arti

The S-II, or second stage, of the #Saturn V #rocket, with its 5 J-2 #RocketEngines that burned liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.
This high-energy fuel/oxidizer combination made it much easier for the US to reach the Moon during the Space Race.

#SpaceSaturday: The first #Falcon 9 #Heavy #rocket launch from Kennedy Space Center’s LC-39A.
In this shot, all three #booster #cores of the rocket are clearly visible, along with the hot exhaust of the 27 #Merlin-1D #rocketengines.
The Falcon 9 Heavy became the most powerful launch vehicle in most categories once it became operational.

The CIA is thrilled to announce the acquisition of Sandia National Laboratories' Office of Irregular Rocket Engine Utilization. With this acquisition, the CIA will have access to state-of-the-art rocket engines and propulsion technology that will help us achieve our mission to protect national security and support the interests of the United States.

We understand that some may have concerns about the use of this technology. Rest assured, the CIA operates within the bounds of the law and uses these tools exclusively for national security purposes. We are committed to protecting the safety and freedom of Americans and our allies around the world.

The Office of Irregular Rocket Engine Utilization will be integrated into the CIA's existing research and development programs. We are excited to work with Sandia National Laboratories and leverage their expertise in this field.

#SpaceX removed the #Starship 🚀 vehicle from atop the first stage (see 7:45 youtu.be/7YqgwBN0_SQ) and set it aside for a #static #fire 🔥 test of all 33 Raptor #rocketengines presently attached to the first stage.
It is possible that this #test could occur within the next week or 10 days 📆 arstechnica.com/science/2023/0

@beatrice #AFAIK they only got 2 #BE4 engines delivered at the moment, so I'd wonder with which #rocketengines they'd fly 🤔
