The amount of fuel a spaceship and its rockets can hold varies depending on the size and purpose of the spacecraft. For example, the Space Shuttle used to carry over 1.6 million pounds of propellant for its main engines. Rockets like the Falcon 9 can carry hundreds of thousands of pounds of fuel for their engines.
What else can I help you with?
How much fuel to put one pound in space?
It would require a significant amount of fuel to put one pound in space, as rockets need a large amount of fuel to overcome Earth's gravity and reach escape velocity. The exact amount of fuel needed would depend on the specific rocket and launch conditions.
Advantages of the single stage and multi stage rockets?
Single stage rockets are simpler, cheaper, and have fewer components, making them easier to design and build. On the other hand, multi stage rockets are more efficient as they discard empty fuel tanks during flight, reducing the weight carried to space and increasing overall speed. This allows multi stage rockets to reach higher velocities and altitudes compared to single stage rockets.
Why are smaller rockets needed on the moon?
Smaller rockets are needed on the moon because the moon has lower gravity than Earth, meaning less force is required to launch a rocket into space. Using smaller rockets also reduces the cost and complexity of the mission.
How much rocket fuel do you need to get into space?
It depends on the weight of the rocket and payload. The Saturn 5 that carried the Apollo moon missions into space carried 5.5 million pounds (2.5 million kilograms) of fuel. Most of the fuel is used to lift the fuel.
How much more space shuttle flights are there going to be?
The space shuttle program ended in 2011, so there are no more planned space shuttle flights. NASA has shifted its focus to other spacecraft and rockets for future missions to space.
How are rockets powered by fuel?
Here's a rephrasing: How are rockets powered, by fuel? Yes, that's pretty much correct.
What kind of fuel do they use in rockets?
Primarily there are two types of fuels used in most rockets today. The space shuttle, at liftoff, uses both. Solid fuel and liquid fuel. Solid fuel rockets are much like the bottle rockets you can buy in a fireworks store. Once they are lit, the burn all of the fuel available and then burn out. The 2 white rockets on the side of the orange tank holding the space shuttle are Solid Rocket Boosters. The large orange tank that holds the space shuttle is full of liquid full that the shuttle uses as it lifts off into space. That fuel is actually liquid.
How much do you spend on fuel for rockets?
about a hundred thousand dollars
How much fuel to put one pound in space?
It would require a significant amount of fuel to put one pound in space, as rockets need a large amount of fuel to overcome Earth's gravity and reach escape velocity. The exact amount of fuel needed would depend on the specific rocket and launch conditions.
How much fuel per second do rockets use?
Half a million gallons.
How much fuel do rockets usually use up?
90% to 99% of what is in their tanks.
Advantages of the single stage and multi stage rockets?
Single stage rockets are simpler, cheaper, and have fewer components, making them easier to design and build. On the other hand, multi stage rockets are more efficient as they discard empty fuel tanks during flight, reducing the weight carried to space and increasing overall speed. This allows multi stage rockets to reach higher velocities and altitudes compared to single stage rockets.
Why would launching rockets from outer space be more effective than launching them from earth?
Since you're launching from space there would be no gravity and air friction to overcome. Flight in space is much more fuel-efficient than it is within the atmosphere of the earth.
Do model rockets and real rockets work the same?
Yes, both work by action/reaction. Model rockets are just much smaller, thus have much less fuel, so can't go near as high or as far.
What is the difference between soild and liquid fuel rocket engines?
A solid fuel rocket engine is just what it sounds like. The fuel inside the rocket is completely solid. In a liquid fuel rocket the fuel is a liquid. Bottle Rockets that you can buy in many stores are fueled with Solid Fuel. Most liquid fuel rockets contain 2 different types of fuel. Once that fuel is mixed and ignited you get your thrust.
How much fuel does a F18 hold?
Internally, an F-18 jet can hold 14,400lbs of fuel.
How much music can a 16gb on a psp hold?
it depends on how much space you can hold.
