Tsiolkovsky rocket equation
text:
The classical rocket equation, or ideal rocket equation is a mathematical equation that describes the motion of vehicles that follow the basic principle of a rocket: a device that can apply acceleration to itself using thrust by expelling part of its mass with high velocity and can thereby move due to the conservation of momentum.
It is credited to Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, who independently derived it and published it in 1903, although it had been independently derived and published by William Mo
