How much gasoline does a rocket ship use?

The amount of gasoline used by a rocket ship depends on the size and type of rocket. Rockets do not use gasoline as fuel; they typically use liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, or solid rocket propellant. The amount of propellant consumed by a rocket is based on factors such as the rocket's size, intended mission, and duration of flight.


What generates thrust that helps a rocket take off?

burning fuel (rocket propellant)


What are the three basic parts of a rocket?

The three basic parts of a rocket are the rocket engine, which provides thrust for liftoff, the propellant tanks, which store the fuel and oxidizer, and the payload, which is the cargo the rocket is carrying into space.


What is the white smoke during the shuttle launch?

The white smoke seen during a shuttle launch is caused by the ignition of the solid rocket boosters. It consists of exhaust gases and steam produced by the burning of solid propellant.


How was rocket fuel developed?

Rocket fuel has been developed through a combination of scientific research, engineering advancements, and trial and error. Early rocket fuels were based on liquid oxygen and hydrogen, while modern rocket fuels incorporate a variety of propellants such as liquid hydrogen, RP-1 (a type of refined kerosene), and solid fuels like ammonium perchlorate composite propellant (APCP). The goal in developing rocket fuel is to create a propellant with high energy density and efficiency to generate the thrust needed for space travel.

Why does fire come out of a rocket at lift off?

Rocket fuel (called propellant) requires a lot of energy to produce the thrust necessary to move a space-bound vehicle beyond the pull of Earth's gravity. The NASA Space Shuttle was launched into space by the use two re-usable solid rocket motors, or RSRMs. Their propellant was a solid rocket fuel and when it burned, it caused a controlled explosion directed out the nozzle, causing enough force to move the Shuttle and the External Tank into low Earth orbit.
