    What is a pressure-fed rocket engine?

    A pressure-fed rocket engine is a type of rocket engine that uses the pressure of the propellants in the tanks to feed them into the combustion chamber. Instead of relying on pumps, the propellants are pushed into the engine by pressurized gas stored in separate tanks. Pressure-fed engines are simpler but have limitations in terms of propellant flow rates and performance.
