A booster refers to a rocket or propulsion system designed to provide the initial thrust needed to lift a spacecraft or payload from Earth's surface into space. Boosters play a crucial role in launching spacecraft, satellites, and crewed missions into orbit or on interplanetary journeys. These powerful engines are responsible for overcoming Earth's gravity and providing the necessary velocity for the vehicle to reach its intended destination. In this article, we will delve into the concept of boosters in the space industry, their significance, and provide numerous examples of different types of boosters used in space missions.
Boosting refers to the use of additional propulsion to increase the speed or altitude of a spacecraft or missile. Boosting can be accomplished using a variety of methods, including the use of additional rocket engines, the release of solid fuel rocket stages, or the use of other types of propulsion systems.
A bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) is a mathematical function that describes the way that a surface reflects light as a function of the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection. BRDFs are used to characterize the reflectance properties of surfaces, and they are often used in the aerospace industry to model the reflectance of surfaces for various applications, such as imaging, remote sensing, and radiometry.
Bremen, officially the City Municipality of Bremen (German: Stadtgemeinde Bremen), is the capital of the German state Free Hanseatic City of Bremen (Freie Hansestadt Bremen), a two-city-state consisting of the cities of Bremen and Bremerhaven. With about 570,000 inhabitants, the Hanseatic city is the 11th largest city of Germany and the second largest city in Northern Germany after Hamburg.
A broadcast in space refers to the transmission of radio or television signals from a spacecraft or satellite to the Earth. These broadcasts are typically used for communication, entertainment, and information dissemination purposes.

In the space industry context, buoyancy is not commonly discussed in the traditional sense related to fluids on Earth, such as the upward force experienced by objects submerged in a liquid. However, the concept of buoyancy can be extended or analogous in discussions about spacecraft behavior in various celestial environments or in the development of technologies for exploring planetary bodies with atmospheres.
