RT-10 "Hammer" Solid Fuel Booster

The RT-10 Solid Fuel Booster is a rocket engine used to provide thrust to a rocket.

Usage

RT-10's are one-time-use rocket boosters often used to help get the massive bulk of a large multi-stage rocket off the ground. They burn at a constant thrust until they run out of fuel and then cease to work. It is usually a good idea to jettison spent fuel boosters as they are quite heavy even when empty. They provide slightly more thrust than their Liquid Fuel counterparts but lack a controllable throttle or the ability to extend the duration of the burn.

description = While considered by some to be little more than "a trash bin full o' boom", The RT-10 is used in many space programs, whenever the need to save cash is greater than the need to keep astronauts alive. Use with caution, though. Once lit, solid fuel motors cannot be put out until the fuel runs out.
