===Bell Textron Rocket Belt=== {{Main|Bell Rocket Belt}} [[Image:Gene shoemaker with rocket belt.jpg|thumb|upright|[[astrogeology|Astrogeologist]] [[Eugene Merle Shoemaker|Gene Shoemaker]] wearing a Bell Rocket Belt while training astronauts]] In 1960, the [[Bell Aircraft|Bell]] Rocketbelt was presented to the public. The jet of gas was provided by a [[hydrogen peroxide]]–powered rocket, but the jet could also be powered by a [[turbojet]] engine, a ducted fan, or other kinds of rockets powered by solid fuel, liquid fuel or compressed gas (usually [[nitrogen]]). This is the oldest known type of jet pack or rocket pack. One [[Bell Rocket Belt]] is on display at the [[Smithsonian Institution]]'s [[National Air and Space Museum]] annex, the [[Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center]], located near [[Dulles Airport]].
