Question

A rocket stage that ignites after the previous stage is jettisoned is called

• A. Parallel staging
• B. Serial (tandem) staging
• C. Cluster staging
• D. Hybrid staging

Hint:

Rocket staging: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Serial Staging} &\rightarrow \text{One stage after another} \text{Parallel Staging} &\rightarrow \text{Boosters operate simultaneously} \end{aligned} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recall the types of rocket staging. Rocket staging is mainly classified as
• Serial (tandem) staging,
• Parallel staging.

Step 2: Identify the staging sequence. In serial (tandem) staging, \[ \boxed{ \text{the next stage ignites only after the previous stage has been separated (jettisoned).} } \] Therefore, \[ \boxed{\text{Serial (tandem) staging}} \] is the correct answer. Thus, \[ \boxed{(B)} \] is the correct answer.
