space rockets
Vehicles leaving Earth
Space rockets are vehicles propelled by rocket engines, designed to travel beyond Earth's atmosphere.
They carry satellites into orbit, send probes to other planets, or transport astronauts to space stations and beyond.
The term emphasizes the craft's destination rather than its propulsion: The space rocket launched at dawn.
Rockets not intended for space—like fireworks or military missiles—aren't typically called space rockets.
