A launcher (more commonly called a rocket) is a means of transporting spacecraft such as satellites and space probes from the ground to space. Because of its mechanism to obtain propulsion usually by burning propellant (fuel + oxidizer), it is often constructed in stages and operated efficiently by detaching unnecessary parts during the launch operation. Rocket is the essential infrastructure of the space industry, and its evolution is expanding the possibilities of space development. AGC has a variety of materials that support the rocket's fuel system that can withstand the harsh vibrations and shocks during launch operation.
