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 are three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts?

Three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts are liquid-propellant rockets, solid-propellant rockets, and hybrid rockets. Liquid-propellant rockets use liquid fuel and oxidizer, solid-propellant rockets use solid fuel and oxidizer mixed together, and hybrid rockets use a combination of solid and liquid propellants.


Why are spacecrafts small and lightweight?

The heavier it is the stronger the engine has to be. And the stronger the engine the more fuel will it burn. And the more fuel it burns the more fuel has to be carried in the rocket. And the more fuel the rocket has to lift the stronger the engine has to be. While some Spacecrafts are not light weight such as the Apollo 11 But is the Largest And Fastest That Got to the moon

Why do spacecrafts use fuel cells?

Spacecraft use fuel cells because they are lightweight, efficient, and reliable sources of power. Fuel cells can generate electricity by combining hydrogen and oxygen, producing water as a byproduct, making them a clean energy solution for space missions. Additionally, fuel cells can provide continuous power for long-duration missions in space.

Why do engineers need to keep the masses of spacecrafts as low as possible?

The heavier it is the stronger the engine has to be. And the stronger the engine the more fuel will it burn. And the more fuel it burns the more fuel has to be carried in the rocket. And the more fuel the rocket has to lift the stronger the engine has to be.
