ABSTRACT:
A nozzle extension mechanism for a rocket engine is applied to an engine in an upper stage rocket in a multi-stage rocket. Since a high expansion nozzle to be used in the upper stage rocket engine is long, the rocket is divided at a nozzle portion in view of volume efficiency. The nozzle portion is retracted and received around the upper stage rocket engine and is shifted to a high altitude space. The nozzle portion is assembled for use prior to operation. For this reason, in order to bring the nozzle portion from the retracted condition to the operative condition, it has been necessary to use a drive source, a power device or a shifting device for shifting the nozzle portion. This leads to a weight problem. The devices left in the upper rocket adversely affect the payload. This is resolved by using a fastening portion provided at a rear end of the high expansion nozzle that is received by and then separated from a coupling mechanism provided at a front end portion of the lower stage rocket. Both components are shifted to a high altitude space. The high expansion nozzle is retracted to a rocket engine joint portion following rearward movement of the lower stage rocket upon separation of the lower stage rocket.
