Space shuttles use fuel when taking off and for control while in orbit, deorbiting, and landing. The main takeoff engines use liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, and there are two solid-fuel rocket boosters. In orbit, the shuttle uses thrusters that burn hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide.
What else can I help you with?
How space shuttles aid in space exploration?
they use there feet
How was the space shuttle different from other spacecraft before it?
Space craft prior to the space shuttles were one-time-use vehicles. The space shuttles were made to be multiple use vehicles.
Why don't they use space shuttles anymore?
The Space Shuttles are old, expensive, and outdated. Two of the five US space shuttles were destroyed in accidents that killed all on board, which raised concerns about the safety of the spacecraft as well.
How does helium help space shuttles get into space?
Helium is used as a pressurizing agent in the fuel and oxidizer tanks of space shuttles. By regulating pressure during fuel consumption, helium ensures a steady flow of propellants to the engines, which is crucial for achieving the necessary thrust to lift the shuttle off the ground and into space.
In space what kind of fuel is used by space shuttle?
Space shuttles use a combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel for their main engines. These two chemicals combine in a controlled combustion process to produce the thrust needed for the shuttle to launch and navigate through space.
Do shuttles use nuclear fuel?
If you mean space shuttles, the answer is no.
Do space shuttles use a lot of fuel?
yes
What energy is made from space shuttles?
Space shuttles use energy, not make it
How do shuttles and stations get into space?
Stations are built in space; Shuttles use rocket boosters.
What battery does NASA use for their space shuttles?
They get electricity through the use of fuel cells. not batteries. The current limiter to the length of a mission is the amount of hydrogen and oxygen carried to use in the fuel cells.
How do space shuttles get into space?
They use rocketry. A space shuttle is a rocket.
How do they get the space shuttle in space?
they have launchers that they use to launch the space shuttles.
How do meteorologists use space shuttles?
They use something.

How was the space shuttle different from other spacecraft before it?
Space craft prior to the space shuttles were one-time-use vehicles. The space shuttles were made to be multiple use vehicles.
How much does a space shuttles height?
The Space Shuttles still in use by NASA are the Discovery, the Endeavor, and the Atlantis. Each of them is 184 feet long. Each of these space shuttles' orbiters is 122 feet long.
When the beginning of the use of space shuttles to lift heavy cargos into space?
in 1390
