FSC 2845: Rocket Engines
Federal Supply Class (FSC) 2845 covers rocket engines used in missiles, launch vehicles, and propulsion systems. These NSN items support strategic, tactical, and space programs.
Rocket engines produce thrust by expelling high-velocity exhaust and operate where air-breathing engines cannot. They power missiles and space launch vehicles.
Common types include solid rocket motors and liquid propellant rocket engines. Components are built from high-temperature alloys and composites to demanding MIL-SPEC and space standards.
