A rocket that has several stages,each smaller than the last.
The first stage of a multi-stage rocket is called the booster stage. It is responsible for providing the initial thrust needed to lift the rocket off the ground and begin the ascent to space. Once its fuel is expended, it separates from the rocket to reduce weight and allow the next stage to continue the journey.
The rocket that carried Apollo 11 to the Moon was called Saturn V. It was a powerful multi-stage rocket that was used in the Apollo program by NASA.
Both single stage and multi stage rockets are used to launch payloads into space. The main difference is that single stage rockets have only one set of engines and fuel tanks, while multi stage rockets have multiple stages that drop off as they burn out. Multi stage rockets are more efficient as they shed weight as they ascend, allowing them to achieve higher velocities and reach further distances.
The concept of the multi-stage rocket is attributed to the Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, who first proposed the idea in the early 20th century. However, it was the German engineer Hermann Oberth and the American engineer Robert Goddard who further developed and tested the technology that eventually led to the successful launch of multi-stage rockets.
a multistage rocket is a rocket. a rocket could be a multistage rocket. all multi-stage rockets are rockets, but not all rockets are multi-stage. For example the space misstions. They are all multi staged, but each stage is a rocket on its own.
A multistage rocket usually has 3 stages or sections.

well first you just put the helmet on :)

Rockets have been employed as far back as the 13th Century, in China. However, Robert Goddard is considered the "father of rocketry" for his invention of the liquid-fueled rocket and the multi-stage rocket.

The Saturn V rocket was used to send humans to the moon during the Apollo missions. It was a large, multi-stage rocket developed by NASA in the 1960s specifically for the purpose of the Apollo program.
Yes, typically rockets have stages that separate and fall off as the rocket ascends into space. This process, known as staging, allows the rocket to shed excess weight and continue on its trajectory with optimal efficiency.
