The historical background concerning the application of liquid propellant rockets is considered. Progress to date in chemical liquid propellant rocket engines can be summarized as an increase in performance through the use of more energetic propellant combinations and increased combustion pressure. New advances regarding liquid propellant rocket engines are related to the requirement for reusability in connection with the development of the Space Shuttle.
