Newton's first law: A body in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
Rockets have sent unmanned spacecraft to mars and Jupiter. Satellites put in orbit by rockets beam back information about earth's atmosphere and weather.
Chemical rockets are generally used on manned spacecraft. Ion propulsion has been used on a few unmanned spacecraft.
They use big fuel powered rockets that generate a huge amount of thrust to propel them.
Which spacecraft? "Spacecraft" can refer to either rockets or their payloads. In both cases, the answer depends on which contractors were selected to built different parts of the vehicle or satellite. NASA also has its own facilities for spacecraft development and testing, scattered among the agency's centers in several states.
The Apollo 11 was a liquid fueled gas for power, the Saturn 5 was a rocket, Apollo 11 was a spacecraft.
The answer, is that there are only two types of rockets which fuel modern spacecraft. they are solid fuel rockets, and liquid fuel rockets
It is propelled into space by rockets
spacecraft use rockets to get to space
Four: Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, and Cassini-Huygens.

An object in motion will continue to move at the same speed and in the same direction unless some force acts on it. So there is no need to continuously fire rockets in space. That is only needed if the spacecraft needs to change speed or direction. When spacecraft is on orbit, gravity constantly pulls it toward the object it is orbiting, but it is moving fast enough that, in simple terms, it will constantly miss.
Speed in science means vector (direction and velocity). Any force which lessens the vector can be considered negative speed. A spacecraft's retro rockets are a good example.
