Refimprove article date March 2009 A tripropellant rocket is a rocket that uses three propellants , as opposed to the more common bipropellant rocket or monopropellant rocket designs, which use two or one fuels, respectively. Tripropellant rockets appear to offer fairly impressive gains for single stage to orbit designs, although to date no tripropellant rocket design has been developed to the point of testing that would prove the concept. There are two principally different kinds of tripropellant rockets. One is a rocket engine which mixes three separate streams of propellants. For example, a mixture of lithium, hydrogen, and fluorine produced a specific impulse of 546 seconds the highest ever of any chemical rocket motor. The other kind of tripropellant rocket is one that uses one oxidize r but two fuel s, switching between the two in mid flight. In this way the motor can combine the high thrust to mass of a dense fuel like kerosene early in flight with the high specific impulse of a lighter fuel like liquid hydrogen LH2 later in flight. The result is a single engine providing some of the benefits of Staging rocketry staging . Although liquid hydrogen delivers the largest specific impulse of the plausible rocket fuels, it also requires huge structures to hold it due to its low density. These structures can weigh a lot, offsetting the light weight of the fuel itself to some degree, and also result in higher drag while in the atmosphere. While kerosene has lower specific impulse, its higher density results in smaller structures, which implies less loss to atmospheric drag . In addition ... becomes more practical than the other.

The four stage Javelin rocket had a payload of around 125 pound mass pounds 57 kilogram kg , an apogee of 1100 kilometers, a liftoff thrust of 365 kilonewton s 82,100 pound force lbf , a total mass of 3,385 kilograms 7,463 lb , and a core diameter of 580 millimeters 22.8 in . It was launched 82 times between 1959 and 1976. This vehicle consisted of a MGR 1 Honest John Honest John first stage plus two Project Nike Nike Ajax stages plus a X 248 stage.
