Difference between Liquid-propellant rocket and Reaction control system

Liquid-propellant rocket vs. Reaction control system

A liquid-propellant rocket or liquid rocket utilizes a rocket engine burning liquid propellants. A reaction control system (RCS) is a spacecraft system that uses thrusters to provide attitude control and translation.

Apollo command and service module

The Apollo command and service module (CSM) was one of two principal components of the United States Apollo spacecraft, used for the Apollo program, which landed astronauts on the Moon between 1969 and 1972.

Apollo Lunar Module

The Apollo Lunar Module (LM), originally designated the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM), was the lunar lander spacecraft that was flown between lunar orbit and the Moon's surface during the United States' Apollo program.

Dinitrogen tetroxide

Dinitrogen tetroxide, commonly referred to as nitrogen tetroxide (NTO), and occasionally (usually among ex-USSR/Russian rocket engineers) as amyl, is the chemical compound N2O4.

Specific impulse

Specific impulse (usually abbreviated) is a measure of how efficiently a reaction mass engine, such as a rocket using propellant or a jet engine using fuel, generates thrust.

Ullage motor

Ullage motors (also known as ullage engines or ullage rockets) are relatively small, independently fueled rocket engines that may be fired prior to main engine ignition, when the vehicle is in a zero-g situation.
