The amount of fuel a rocket needs to take off depends on its size, payload, and destination. However, rockets are designed to be as fuel-efficient as possible to maximize payload capacity and range. The fuel needed for a rocket launch is carefully calculated by engineers to ensure a successful mission.

What generates thrust that helps a rocket take off?

burning fuel (rocket propellant)


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 rocket fuel does the Saturn v need to get into space?

A satellite couldn't go to Jupiter since satellites are objects,natural or manmade, that are in orbit around other celestial objects such as planets and stars. If you mean how much fuel would a spacecraft/spaceship need to go to Jupiter, that would depend on the mass of the spacecraft and the acceleration. For example, if you pushed your spaceship to fifty thousand miles per hour, it would continue at that speed without any more fuel being used because space is a nearly total vacuum and offers almost no resistance to an object passing through it. If you wanted to keep speeding up on the way, it would take a lot of fuel.


What does a rocket need to take off?

A rocket needs a powerful thrust to overcome Earth's gravity and lift off. This thrust is typically provided by rocket engines that burn fuel to create a force that propels the rocket upward. Additionally, the rocket needs a stable structure to withstand the forces of liftoff and the harsh conditions of space.


Why does the weight of a rocket decrease during take off?

The weight of a rocket decreases during takeoff because it is burning fuel, which reduces the amount of mass that the rocket has to lift against gravity. As fuel is used up, the overall weight of the rocket decreases, making it easier to achieve lift-off.

What else do we need to know about mars for humans to go there?

if there is water if it is at the right temperature how long it would take us to get their how much fuel we would need in a rocket to get to mars are their any aliens or harmful animal their is their enough oxygen etc.


How does the space shuttle get to space?

There are 2 solid rocket boosters (white things) and one fuel tank (red thing) the solid rocket boosters do all the work and use up the fuel in the fuel tank and then both the solid rocket boosters and the fuel tank fall off and are collect on earth and reused (there is a secondary fuel tank built in to the actual to take were it need to go once its in space)

Why don't astronauts soft-land on Earth with retro-rockets?

Rocket fuel is very heavy and it would take more rocket fuel for the launch to carry the weight of the fuel for retro rockets.


A rocket that has two or more than stages?

Yes a rocket usually has 2 or more stages, to take off, a lot of fuel is required, after reaching the required orbit, carryin so much extra fuel would be a burden so before the rocket settles in the orbit, 1 or more stages maybe removed

Why does a rocket take more fuel to launch off the moon than earth?

Actually its the other way around, if a rocket were to launch off the moon it would take less fuel than if it had launched off of earth. It would take less fuel because the moon has lighter gravity.
