While in earths atmosphere, chemical rocketry provides the propulsion. Once the space craft is aloft and free from earth's gravity, it course and trajectory is powered by chemical reaction directed through nozzles. The internal power is provided by "fuel cell's" which is a different type of chemical reaction that provides a steady flow of electrical power for use in life support ,communications, computers, etc.

What provides power for spacecraft?
There are many different types of power supplies for spacecraft. By far the most common is solar power (a solar array with a battery array). Solar power looses efficiency quickly the farther from the sun a spacecraft goes. Most deep space spacecraft use a thermo-nuclear battery. These batteries can last for decades. The voyager spacecrafts, launched in the 1970's, batteries will last until the mid 2020's!
