In order to work a rocket must have two separate types of fuel. One must oxidize the other. The Chinese made the original rockets around 1200 ad. using a type of gunpowder. In the gunpowder, the nitrate from guano, oxidized the charcoal and the sulphur. Things stayed that way until the 1900's. At that point rockets began using other fuels. The American rockets that put satellites into orbit generally use Liquid oxygen and Liquid hydrogen for fuel. Russian rockets usually use Liquid oxygen and kerosene. Some rockets use 90% hydrogen peroxide. (The hydrogen peroxide in your medicine cabinet is 3%) Other substances are used as well.
