It depends on the size, weight and shape of the rocket, but the amount of fuel used in NASA rockets is about 1000 tons of fuel per launch. The combined thrusting force required is around 25,000,000 N.

The moon has no gravity but the rocket lands on it How?

The moon does have gravity, just less than Earth's. When a rocket lands on the moon, it is pulled towards the moon's surface by its gravity, similar to how objects are pulled towards Earth. The rocket's engines are used to slow down its descent and land safely on the moon's surface.


How much fuel needed to get to the moon?

It would take approximately 2.9 kilometers per second of delta-v to reach the moon. The amount of fuel needed depends on the specific rocket design, but it is typically a large amount due to the distance and gravitational forces involved in the journey.


How much electricity would you need to power a rocket engine?

That will depend a lot on the size of the rocket, and how fast you want it to move.


How much fuel did Apollo 13 need to get to the moon?

Apollo 13 never made it to the moon, suffering a catastrophic failure en route. The Apollo missions in general used 5.625 million pounds of fuel in all three four stages of the Saturn V rocket.

How much hp does it take to put a manned rocket into space?

The approximate minimum power required to put a manned rocket into space is around 2 million horsepower. This power is needed to overcome Earth's gravity, propel the rocket to the necessary speed to enter orbit, and provide thrust for the journey.


Why did astronauts go on the moon?

The moon missions served a dual purpose. They really were about the science of the endeavor, to understand the origins of the moon, the geologic make up of the moon, to discover if there was tectonic activity, etc. There was also a secondary purpose, which was to prove to our Cold War enemies that we had the power and strength, technologically, to send men to the moon. The theory being that if we could launch a rocket to the moon, we could launch nuclear missiles to Russia. So it was a "who's the best" contest as much as it was a "let's do science!" mission.


How much energy does it take to launch a rocket to the moon?

Launching a rocket to the moon requires a tremendous amount of energy. Roughly speaking, it takes around 7-8 million pounds of thrust to propel a spacecraft out of Earth's gravity. The total energy needed can vary based on the rocket design and mission profile, but it is estimated to be in the range of billions of joules.


What the difference between thrust and lift?

Thrust: How much power that is being used to go forward. Lift on the other hand: is how much power that is used to gain altitude, like in a rocket ship or a plane.
