Propulsion stage of a launch rocket, launch rocket and method for controlling a propulsion stage

Abstract

A propulsion stage, in particular a reusable propulsion stage, comprising: a rocket body having a longitudinal axis; at least one recoil propulsion unit acting substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis; a plurality of rotor assemblies, each drivable by an electric rotor drive including at least one electric motor electrically connected to at least one current storage device configured to supply electrical energy to the at least one electric motor, wherein the at least one current storage device is displaceable within the propulsion stage in a direction located in a plane oriented at a right angle relative to the longitudinal axis or which has a dominant directional component which extends in the radial direction at a right angle relative to the longitudinal axis.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
