if you ever seen a space shuttle being launched in a rocket, it tends to have a huge orange missile like object in the middle. That's the external fuel tank which contains roughly 25%-30% liquid oxygen oxidizer and 70%-75% liquid hydrogen fuel. It's basically water vapor/steam whats let off after those two burn up.

How did the rocket burst in which kalpana chawla traveled?
when they were taking off from earth to go to space one tile of rocket get off and when they were coming it takes more force and because of the tile the rocket burst
What happens to the gases when the rocket takes off?
Gas is thrusted downward out of the rocket, which in turn (because of Newton's third law) pushes the rocket upward. The gas, which has already combusted, mixes with the air
What does the rocket takeoff from?
Your question is very broad. One of the things a rocket takes off from is called a launch pad. Launch pads are the place where rockets take off. But the things that cause it to take off are completely different. A rocket takes off or 'launches' from a concept called thrust. Thrust is when say I have a ten pound ball that I want to throw directly up in the air. I need to create 10 pounds of energy to launch it and then enough energy to actually get it to where I want to go. Those are the basic things that make a rocket launch.
The Space Shuttle takes off like a ............flies around the earth like a........... and lands like an?
the space shuttle takes off like a rocket flies around the earth like a bird and lands like an airoplane
How long does it take to get to the moon by rocket?
it takes 13 hours to get to the moon by a rocket
What happens to the weight of a rocket when it takes off?
The mass of the rocket decreases as fuel burns.
When does the rocket take off in Pokemon?
In the game, the rocket never takes off '-_- The only reason it exists is because of Decoys

What are the things that decrease as a rocket lifts off the ground?
The first thing that decreases when the rocket takes off the ground is the hybrid fuel in the large tanks attached with it. As it takes off and approaches to the outer atmospheric line the tanks attached are detached and then the boosters come off from the rockets. Thus it decreases the number of accessory parts after the take off.
What happens to the gases when the rocket takes off?
Gas is thrusted downward out of the rocket, which in turn (because of Newton's third law) pushes the rocket upward. The gas, which has already combusted, mixes with the air
What s a reusable vehicle that takes off like a rocket and land like a plane?
Space shuttle (retired).
Is a reusable vehcial that takes off like a rocket and lands like an airplane?
The space shuttles fit that description.
What are the forces when a spacecraft takes off?
Thrust is the force that propels a rocket or spacecraft and is measured in pounds, kilograms or Newtons.

How does a rocket stay in the air and not go off in space?
It takes a lot of energy to put a rocket "into space". Most rockets don't have that kind of energy available, so it's not really an issue.
