Auxiliary rocket - Hojo rocket
In rocket vehicles, this is a general term for rockets other than the main rocket engine. However, boosters are sometimes not included. The most common auxiliary rockets and their roles are explained below. (1) Control rockets A rocket intended to generate attitude control forces for the rocket or to fine-tune the flight speed. Liquid monopropellant rockets are often used, but bipropellants, solid rockets, and in some cases room temperature gas jets are also used. (2) Ullage motor A rocket intended to apply a small acceleration in the axial direction of the vehicle in order to keep the liquid level in the tank at a normal state when starting the engine from a weightless state in a liquid rocket.
