The earliest rockets--i.e., those built by the Chinese as early as the 14 century--used solid fuel.
to power rockets
Both liquid and solid fuel rockets are used for manned flight today.
Helium is not typically used as a fuel in rockets. It is most commonly used in rocket propulsion systems as a pressurizing agent in liquid fuel rockets to push the fuel into the combustion chamber for efficient burning.
To power vehicles, for example, it is used as rocket fuel to power rockets and planes.
Liquid hydrogen IS used as a fuel. It's used in rockets - and some cars.
Oxygen is used in rockets as an oxidizer to facilitate the combustion of fuel. It helps to support the chemical reaction that generates thrust by combining with the fuel to release energy. This process allows rockets to generate the necessary propulsion for launch and space travel.
To power vehicles, for example, it is used as rocket fuel to power rockets and planes.
The two main types of rockets are liquid fuel rockets, which use liquid propellants like liquid oxygen and kerosene, and solid fuel rockets, which use a solid mixture of fuel and oxidizer. Liquid fuel rockets offer more control and efficiency, while solid fuel rockets are simpler in design and more reliable.
The type was called "hypergolic", a fancy name that means that the fuel ignites on its own when mixed with another chemical, so does not need igniters to start it up, which means one less thing that can go wrong. The actual name of the fuel was Aerozine 50, which burns when the engine mixed it with nitric acid. A similar but not identical fuel is used on the Space Shuttle, in the tiny rockets used for steering and positioning.
It is hydrogen and oxygen, these two gases are mainly used in rockets
