Type of engine used to power space flights?
rocket engines,compared to jet engines
How do the rocket engines on the Space Shuttle ignite?
As regards the main engines on the rocket, there is an ignitor associated with each rocket motor. An internal "blowtorch" of fuel and oxidizer in each engine is ignited with spark plugs.
How much hp has a rocket?
rocket what? an engine?, need to know the year and engine size.
What is a engine used on a spaceship?
There are actually two types of boosters that were both used by the space shuttle before their decommission. To propel the vehicle out into space from the surface of the earth out past the atmosphere, the shuttle used SRB's, or Solid Rocket Boosters. The engines on the actual shuttle are LRB's, or Liquid Rocket Boosters. These are used to propel the space vehicle further into space and into orbit around the earth.
Who invented the V2 rocket engine?
dno
Why doesn't a rocket in space need to use an engine to keep moving in space?
Because there is no friction in space to slow the rocket down. Once the rocket is at its cruising speed, the engine can be switched off. Of course, that means that you have to use a different engine (pointing forwards) to slow down and stop the rocket since friction won't do it for you.
Why wouldn't you hear the roar of a rocket engine in space?
Space is essentially a vacuum. Sound needs a medium to travel through to be heard. Therefore the sound of a rocket engine cannot be heard in space.
Does a rocket have an engine?
yes, a rocket does have a engine. the engine is the horse power to a rocket that gets it to go... and keep going... and keep going. as long as it has a good engine then it would be a pretty long ride in to space.
How was the first rocket launged in space?
The first "rocket" successfully launched into space was actually a V-2 missile. The first rocket-ship that was successfully launched into space used rocket engines. A rocket engine pushes the rocket forward by expelling its exhaust in the opposite direction at a high speed.
What happends to fule after it leaves the rocket in space?
The fuel, spelled F-U-E-L, is burned or autocombusts (in the case of hydrazine), and the exhaust shoots out of the rocket engine, propelling the rocket in the opposite direction. After it leaves the engine, it spreads out into 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 parts make a rocket ship work outter space?
The Engine
How the rocket stay in space and aeroplane can't stay in space?
The engine on the plane is not as strong and big as the rocket Also the pressure could destroy the plane into pieces
How do space crafts move in space?
Either by thrusters or a rocket engine. Thrusters work by small puffs of gass, usually CO900. Rocket engines work fuel.
Why does a spacecraft need a rocket engine?
So it can take off, and frankly get in to space.
Why do you need a rocket to go to space?
A rocket is a type of engine that pushes itself forward or upward by producing thrust. Unlike a jet engine, which draws in outside air, a rocket engine uses only the substances carried within it. As a result, a rocket can operate in outer space, where there is almost no air. A rocket can produce more power for its size than any other kind of engine. It can carry people and equipment into space. That is why there is aneed for using rocket to go to spce.
