The development of the RP1/liquid oxygen rocket propellant combination from "summary" of Ignition! by John Drury Clark
The RP-1/liquid oxygen combination became the propellant of choice for many rocket engines. RP-1, a refined form of kerosene, had excellent performance characteristics and was much easier to handle than the more volatile liquid hydrogen. Liquid oxygen, on the other hand, was a powerful oxidizer that provided the necessary combustion for the rocket engine. The development of this propellant combination was a significant step forward in rocket technology. Engineers and scientists worked tirelessly to perfect the mixture, ensuring that it would provide the necessary thrust for launching rockets into space. The combination of RP-1 and liquid oxygen allowed for greater efficiency and power in rocket engines, making it ideal for a variety of ap...
