Spacecraft use either liquid or solid fuel. All rockets operate on a combination of a fuel and an oxidizer to help the fuel burn.
Russian rockets use liquid fuel, a combination of Liquid Oxygen (also called LOX) and a highly refined form of kerosene (also called RP-1). American and other rockets and spacecraft use a combination of liquid fuel as above and solid fuel.
Solid rocket fuel is composed of fuel like charcoal, metals such as alumnium or zinc, or even sugar along with potassium nitrate as an oxidizer all combined in a binder such as rubber or forms of plastics. An additive such as sulfur can also be added to help stabilize the burn.
Once in orbit, hypergolic fuels are used. 2 chemicals are used which, when combined explode. This allows rockets to be used without any ignition source.
a fuel cell is a cell that produces electricity they are used to provied power and water for the spacecraft so the space craft could'nt really survive with out fuel cells
Solar cells are commonly used on spacecraft but because a spacecraft might spend a considerable amount of time in the dark they also have fuel power. They most obviously use oil based fuel to launch the spacecraft into space.
it holds the fuel
they are used to provied power and water for the spacecraft so the space craft could'nt really survive with out fuel cells Because fuel cells do actually fart it's well documented. And they do a poo when they get tired! < SOOO TRUE!!
The fuel used by the Apollo 15 spacecraft as well as all the Apollo spacecrafts , was a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen gases.

They supply power to the spacecraft during missions.

Its the source of energy.'and it can even be used to generate electricity for spacecraft.'From Pearson Education Limited 2002
Without fuel, the spacecraft cannot launch.
It stores fuel.
it lifts up the spacecraft
