Starchaser's Rocket Propulsion Lab is a science show consisting of a suite of interactive demonstrations, videos and activities that centre upon the theme of propulsion. The show provides an exciting visual display that focuses upon Starchaser's development of rocket engines, beginning with a demonstration of Newtonian mechanics. Pupils are then shown via a series of spectacular experiments how forces and basic physical laws apply to the challenge of space flight. The chemistry of rocket propellants is explored and various chemical equations are used to describe the processes involved. The video component enables participants to comprehend the complexities and challenges of reaching outer space. Up to 5 shows per day, per Starchaser presenter
