Which rocket is used to launch the space shuttle?
Space shuttle generally launches itself with just a boost from two solid rocket boosters(SRBs) that are dropped soon after start. The element that gives the appearance of big rocket is actually an external fuel tank.
What launches due to equal but opposite forces of the burning fuel?
Lol , a rocket.
How is a real rocket able to blast into space?
the pressure from the the rocket's fuel thingy makes the rocket go up. pretty soon, the rocket is in space.
Can you use petrol as a fuel in rocket engine?
Rocket fuel contains oxygen, which is not found in space. A rocket in space could theoretically work in space if it were to carry its own oxygen, but other fuels such as hydrogen are more efficient.
What type of fuel does the space shuttle need?
It uses rocket fuel
How does rocket fuel burn in space without oxygen?
The rocket carries its own supply of oxygen with which to burn the fuel.
What is the difference between a space shuttle and a rocket?
Answer The Space Shuttle is a rocket. By definition, a Rocket is a vehicle that burns gas that it carries with it. Where as, a jet airplane burns the oxygen from the air and is not a rocket. The Rocket when it is launched has a liquid fuel rocket engines at the back end of it. It also has two long, solid fuel rocket engines that separate after launch. But the space shuttle is pulled by a rocket.
Why is there a body section on a rocket?
The main use of a body section of a rocket is most likely to store fuel. As you can see in rocket launches it detaches after the boosters are used up and only the main capsule remains. This is seen in starlit launches where the main satellite detaches and the body falls back to earth along with the detached boosters.
How does a rocket get ito space if it runs out of fuel?
It doesn't.
What kind of fuel used to propel a rocket in to space?
Um, Rocket Fuel. It is a mixture of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen
How much fuel will be needed in a rocket?
How much fuel will be needed in a rocket will depend on the size of the rocket and where it is going. A rocket that will be traveling into space burns a lot of fuel and will need enough to keep it in orbit for teh desired time.
How is satellite sent into space?
All satellites today get into orbit by riding on a rocket or by riding in the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle. Several countries and businesses have rocket launch capabilities, and satellites as large as several tons make it safely into orbit on a regular basis. For most satellite launches, the scheduled launch rocket is aimed straight up at first. This gets the rocket through the thickest part of the atmosphere most quickly and best minimizes fuel consumption.
