What kind of fuel does rockets use?

almost anything that burns:gasolinekerosenehydrazinerubberasphaltaluminum powderetc.But remember the rocket must also carry its own oxidizer.


How was rocket fuel developed?

Rocket fuel has been developed through a combination of scientific research, engineering advancements, and trial and error. Early rocket fuels were based on liquid oxygen and hydrogen, while modern rocket fuels incorporate a variety of propellants such as liquid hydrogen, RP-1 (a type of refined kerosene), and solid fuels like ammonium perchlorate composite propellant (APCP). The goal in developing rocket fuel is to create a propellant with high energy density and efficiency to generate the thrust needed for space travel.


What do the spacecrafts use for fuel?

Spacecrafts can use a variety of fuels depending on their design and purpose. Some common types of spacecraft fuels include liquid hydrogen, liquid oxygen, hydrazine, and solid rocket propellants. The choice of fuel is determined by factors such as efficiency, performance, and specific mission requirements.


What fuel used in satellite?

Satellites typically use liquid rocket fuels such as liquid hydrogen or a combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen for propulsion. These fuels are chosen for their high energy content and efficiency in the vacuum of space. Solid rocket fuels can also be used in some satellite systems for specific purposes.


What are the disadvantges of rocket?

Some disadvantages of rockets include high cost of development and production, limited payload capacity, reliance on fossil fuels which can be environmentally harmful, and the potential hazards of handling and storing rocket fuels. Additionally, rockets are not reusable for the most part, leading to high costs for each launch.

What is name of rocket fuel?

The name of a common rocket fuel is liquid hydrogen, which is often used in combination with liquid oxygen. There are also other types of rocket fuels including solid fuels and hybrid fuels, but liquid hydrogen is one of the most commonly used.


What are 2 types of rocket engines?

There are two basic types of rocket engines, solid fuel and liquid fuel. NASA mostly uses liquid fuel rockets, and model rockets are usually solid fuel. There are two types of solid fuels. Composite and black powder. Composite fuels are lighter and generally have higher thrust than the black powder motors. I hope this answers your question!


Can rocket fuel be used for gas turbine engines?

There are various types/combinations of rocket fuels. The most popular one is Hydrogen which was used by the Space Shuttle. But there are some hydrocarbon fuels as well that are used in rocket engines (for example RP-1 used by the Soyuz rocket). By asking specifically about rocket fuel I assume that you make the distinction between fuel and oxidizer (because a rocket engine generally uses both fuel and oxidizer in contrast with gas turbine engines who takes its oxidizer from atmospheric air). All in all, the answer is not as straight forward as you might expect: certain rocket fuels (see RP-1 like fuels) are very similar to jet fuel so they can be used as fuels in gas turbine engines. Other fuels like hydrogen or hydrazine can't be used in current gas turbine engines. But it is not impossible to have in the future gas turbine engines that uses hydrogen or some other fuels used in rocket engines.
