Liquid Oxygen and liquid hydrogen in the fuel tank. The orbiter uses Monomethylhydrazine (MMH) and Nitrogen tetroxide or peroxide(N2o4).
For takeoff the shuttle uses a hydrogen/ oxygen mixture. In orbit it uses a solid mixture of powdered aluminum and ammonium perchlorate
All current spacecraft use chemical rockets (bipropellant or solid-fuel) for launch
