Introduction
1. Rockets are any of various simple or complex tube-like devices containing combustibles that on being ignited liberate gases whose action propels the tube through the air: used for pyrotechnic effect, signaling, carrying a lifeline, hurling explosives at an enemy, putting a space vehicle into orbit, etc.
A space capsule or vehicle put into orbit uses such devices.
A missile is a self-propelled, explosive projectile used as a weapon towards a target. Missiles are typically propelled by rockets, but other engines such as ramjet, turbojet and turbofan engines can also be used. Missile is a rocket which can be guided to specific targets over varying distances. A guided missile is equipped with a computer and special equipment which guides it to its target. Some guided missiles can be controlled during their flight from the ground. The load that a missile can carry depends upon the use it is intended for. The war head can be highly explosive (HE) which can blast targets. Missile can carry armour piercing (AP) war heads backed by high explosives. Missiles can be of different sizes. A small size missiles can be launched from launching pads and can fly through space with a reach spanning the world. Launchers can be attached to the wings or body of an aero plane or can set upon a ship. Missile submarines use compressed air to push the missile up to the surface where a rocket engine takes over.
2. Missiles are two of types; Ballistic Missiles and Non-ballistic missile. Ballistic missiles as the name suggests are identified by the way they fly. They follow an arching path just like a ball thrown in the air. These are the largest of all missiles. These include intercontinental ballistic missiles (range 5500 to 15000 km) intermediate
