The most common usage at the moment is resupply for the ISS
At launch the solid rocket booster uses a solid propellant with a mixture of powdered aluminum and ammonium perchlorate. The Space Shuttle itself uses Liquid Hydrogen (Hydrazine) & liquid oxygen.
It uses thruster engines. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
The space shuttle uses liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel. Generally a sufficient quantity of fuel is carried but if need be re-fuelling can be done in space.
