English term or phrase: booster

Estoy subtitulando un documental en el que aparece una rueda de prensa de J.F. Kennedy. Un periodista le pregunta sobre cuᬥs son las perspectivas de alcanzar e incluso superar a los sovi鴩cos en la carrera espacial. Kennedy le responde:

"We have to admit they secured large ***boosters*** which have led to their being first in Sputnik, and led to their first putting their man in space.

He visto que se puede traducir como "cohete impulsor" o "motor auxiliar", pero no s頱u頴鲭ino es m᳠apropiado. Como estoy subtitulando y tengo que ser breve, ?podrusar "impulsor" a secas?

La traducci󮠥s para Espa񡮍

Muchas gracias.
