Booster - Booster (English spelling)

Japanese: ブースター - ぶーすたー(英語表記)booster
Booster - Booster (English spelling)

A rocket that generates a large thrust to take off and ascend, such as the first stage of a multi-stage rocket or a booster rocket to boost thrust. In a broader interpretation, all stages of a multi-stage rocket can be collectively called a booster that launches artificial satellites and spacecraft. Since a large thrust is the basic requirement of a booster, the rockets used for this purpose are currently limited to solid or liquid rockets, and there are no practical examples of non-chemical rockets.

多段式ロケットの第一段、あるいは推力増強用補助ロケットのように、大推力を発して離陸上昇の役割を果たすロケットのこと。これを拡大解釈して、多段式ロケットの全段を一括して、人工衛星や宇宙船を打ち上げるブースターと称することもある。大推力がブースターの基本条件であるため、これに用いられるロケットは、現在のところ固体あるいは液体ロケットに限られ、非化学ロケットの実用例はない。
