The engineers in charge would calculate the absolute minimum needed to complete the mission.

What equipment may a rocket carry?
Really anything you want. The only limitation you have is how much weight your rocket can lift. if you exceed that your rocket will, at best, just sit on the launch pad and burn all its fuel off. Remember, every satellite or probe ever put into space was done with really big rockets.
Is helium in rocket fuel?
yes
Which is a liquid fuel used in rocket engines?
AMMONIA
What is a type of motor that burns fuel without air?
A rocket motor (rocket engine) does not need air from the atmosphere. It carries the oxidant (source of oxygen) as well as the fuel.
A rocket is a motor that can burn fuel without requiring?
air
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.
Where is the solid fuel rocket on a rocket?
At the very bottom is the nozzle, after that is the fuel. Depending on how big the rocket is and how much fuel it needs determines the size of the chamber
Why don't astronauts soft-land on Earth with retro-rockets?
Rocket fuel is very heavy and it would take more rocket fuel for the launch to carry the weight of the fuel for retro rockets.
How much fuel needed to get to the moon?
how much fuel is needed to get to the moon in a rocket
Does the material a rocket is made of affect the distance it travels?
Yes. A heavy rocket will not travel as far as a light rocket if both carry the same fuel load.
How much fuel is needed for a rocket?
500,000,000
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.
How much rocket fuel is needed to send a rocket into space?
It depends upon the weight of the total vehicle and the payload combined (including the fuel, which needs to be carried upward too). For more information, see the link below the ads. The Saturn V can carry 385.6 tonnes of propellant according to pg 244 in "The Rocket: The History and Development of Rocket & Missile Technology"
Why does a rocket carry its own oxygen?
There is no air, and thus no oxygen, in outer space, so the rocket needs to bring its own oxygen to burn its fuel.
How much gasoline is 5625000 pounds of rocket fuel?
How much energy is in one gallon of gas, compare this to quantity of energy in one gallon of rocket fuel, voila, your answer!!!
How much weight can the pocket rocket carry?
80-120
Why do rockets carry liquid oxygen short 1 line answers?
in order with which to burn the rocket fuel with
