The US's first solid fuel rocket capable launching a satellite into orbit was named Scout. I think this was the first solid fuel rocket to carry payloads into orbit because the Soviet Union did not begin it's solid rocket program until later.
It is possible the Minuteman ICBM may have been the first solid rocket to reach space but in a ballistic flight (go up and fall back down like a cannon ball), but I haven't been able to find the date of the first Minuteman sub orbital flight and both rockets were developed at about the same time.

Rockets were invented by the Chinese 3000 years ago, and fireworks-type rockets have been built in Europe since the early Renaissance period. The 1814 bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor inspired the US National Anthem with its line about "the rocket's red glare.."
The first liquid-fueled rocket was built in Massachusetts in 1926 by Robert Goddard, who is sometimes known as the "father of rocketry".

∙ 14y agoThe first liquid-fuelled rocket was launched by Prof Robert H. Goddard on March 16, 1926 in Massachusetts. The rocket which was powered with gasoline, using liquid oxygen as the oxidiser. The rocket lifted up to approximately 12.5 metres in a 2.5-second flight.
As with many inventions, the first person to propose the idea of a liquid-fuelled rocket was Konstatin Tsiokovsky in his text, "The Exploration of Cosmic Space by Means of Reaction Devices" in 1903.
Peruvian scientist Pedro Paulet claimed (in 1927) to have experimented with a liquid-fuelled rocket engines as student in Paris in the late 1890s, but there appears to be no definitive evidence to support or refute this. In any case, as he only claimed to have tested engines, and did not claim to have flown a liquid rocket, the first liquid-fuelled rocket was indisputably Goddard's.

Compare the payloads of ancient and modern rockets?
it's the comparison between the fuels used, solid / liquid
What are some non examples of solids?
This is an odd example. Anything that is NOT solid earth is a non-example. So, a bird is not solid earth.
What happens when solids and liquids are heated or cooled?
A solid can change Into a liquid when it is heated Example- when heated solid chocolate, the chocolate changes into a liquid. A liquid Can change into a solid when it is cooled Example - If you leave juice in the freezer , the liquid changes into a solid.
What did Harrison Allen Jr invent?
Harrison Allen Jr. specialized in the development of high energy fuels for rockets, super sonic combustion and solid rocket propellant rocket motors.
Solid to liquid called?
Example of solid changing toliquid:when you take an ice and put it to thaw out it changes to water (liquid) and is the same for liquid to solid; you freeze water(liquid) and it turns to ice (solid)

Who were the three men known for their work with the first liquid or solid propelled rockets?
Pedro Paulet, Dr. Robert H. Goddard, and Wernher von Braun are all known for their work with the first liquid or solid propelled rockets. Paulet is known as a â??father of aeronauticsâ?? while von Braun later developed and built the V-2 rocket weapon.

What three men are famous for their work with liquid and solid propelled rockets?

What is the Difference between solid propelled missile and liquid propelled missile?
Solid fueled missiles are just that. They are propelled by a solid fuel. For an everyday example of that, pick up an Estes rocket kit from Michael's craft store and look at it's propellant. Liquid propelled missiles us a liquid propellant, like your car. Liquid propellants also require a second oxidiser, either air or stored oxidiser to burn, solid propellants generally have the oxidizer mixed in. Solid fueled rockets typically can be handled rougher as they are more stable than their liquid counterparts. Hope that answers your question.
Which scientist invented rockets?
Robert H. Goddard made the first liquid fuel rocket the first solid fuel rocket was by the Chinese as early as 1000 ad
Which rocket is older solid fuel rockets or liquid fuel rockets?
The earliest rockets--i.e., those built by the Chinese as early as the 14 century--used solid fuel.
Where do some rockets get their oxygen from?
Liquid fueled rockets get it from liquid oxygen, and solid fueled rockets get it from and oxidized metal.
What has the author F A Williams written?
F. A. Williams has written: 'Fundamental aspects of solid propellant rockets' -- subject(s): Solid propellant rockets, Solid propellants
What are solid rockets?
The correct term is "solid propellant rocket". These are rockets that burn fuel that is not a liquid(or they are NOT liquid fuel rockets). These rockets have a fuel that is poured into the rocket case and turns to a solid. Once ignited, there is no stopping the burn or controlling it.A simple example of this is rocket you shoot on the 4th of July. It burns black powder that has been formed into a cardboard case.Whereas, a liquid fuel rocket can be controlled by varying the amount of fuel that is injected into the rocket motor.
