How much fuel does shuttle consume during ascent?
The space shuttle would typically consume about 1.6 million pounds (720,000 kg) of solid rocket fuel and 500,000 gallons (1.9 million liters) of liquid fuel during its ascent into orbit.
How much does space shuttle discovery weigh?
The Space Shuttle Discovery, when fully loaded for a mission, had a launch weight of approximately 4.5 million pounds (about 2.03 million kilograms). The orbiter itself, without fuel or cargo, weighed around 165,000 pounds (75,000 kilograms). Its design allowed for significant payload capacity, contributing to its various missions in space.
What type of fuel does the space shuttle need?
It uses rocket fuel
What does the space shuttle use to place a satellite into space?
The space shuttle uses its payload bay to carry and deploy satellites into space. Once the shuttle reaches the desired orbit, the robotic arm or astronauts inside the shuttle release the satellite into space.
What kind of fuel does the space shuttle use?
The space shuttle used a mixture of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel for its main engines. These propellants are combustion products of a chemical reaction that produces high thrust for the shuttle's liftoff and orbital maneuvers.
The space shuttle Discovery orbits what planet?
The space shuttle discovery and any other space shuttle for that manner is only designed to orbit Earth. The space shuttle does not have enough fuel or produce enough energy to leave Earths gravitational pull. The only manned spacecraft to do so was the Saturn V rocket, built by Whener Von Braun during the 1960's.
When the Space Shuttle was transported atop a 747 was the Space Shuttle full of fuel?
No.
What is the fuel capacity of for shuttle bus?
Depending on the manufacture between 50 liters and 950 liters

What type of fuel does the space shuttle need?
It uses rocket fuel
How does the space shuttle carry enough fuel for a mission?
The space shuttle uses liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel. Generally a sufficient quantity of fuel is carried but if need be re-fuelling can be done in space.
What is the fuel for the rockets that carries the shuttle to space?
High octane jet fuel.
What does the Space Shuttle used to place a satellite into space?
A liquid fuel tank
What types of fuel power the space shuttle?
fossil fuels
Why is hydrogen used in the space shuttle engine?
To fuel it and cool it
