Abstract
An extendable nozzle for a rocket engine includes a chamber with a main combustion chamber and a throat and a main nozzle formed within a guide tube, where a nozzle extension slides over the guide tube from a stowed position to an extendable position. A locking O-ring secures the nozzle extension in a stowed position, and a locking split ring holds the nozzle extension in the extended position.
