Abstract A system for providing fuel and oxidant to a rocket in flight, including a rocket having at least one internal tank for storing propellant, at least one external tank for holding a liquid rocket propellant, and at least one umbilical hose in fluidic communication with the at least one internal tank and the at least one external tank. The at least one umbilical hose is configured to automatically disengage from the rocket when the rocket reaches a predetermined state such as a predetermined altitude, for example. The at least one internal tank remains in fluidic communication with the at least one external tank while the at least one umbilical hose is engaged.
