Rockets
Rockets are single-shot aerial fireworks designed to launch quickly, burst in the air, and end within seconds. Each rocket fires one time only, producing a brief but noticeable aerial effect before it is spent.
Rockets are propelled upward by a small motor (propellant composition), which stabilizes the firework during launch and carries it to its break point in the sky.
Rockets have a fast launch and short duration. They produce one, sometimes two aerial bursts per rocket, with bright flashes, small color breaks, or crackling effects. Because of their speed, rockets are often used as accent fireworks rather than the main focus of a display.
When lighting rockets, they are lit individually and must be placed in a stable launch position. They should never be held while launching or launched from bottles, cans, or improvised holders.
