The main ingredient of the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters by weight is Ammonium Perchlorate, at 69.6% of the solid fuel composition. Ammonium perchrlorate serves as the oxidizer in the shuttle SRBs. The next ingredient at 16% is aluminum, which is the primary fuel in the boosters. The remaining percentage is composed of binders and catalyst substances.
What else can I help you with?
Which rocket on the space shuttle are most powerful?
The solid rocket booster or SRB's as they are known. They pack a right punch I can tell thee!
How many booster rockets does the space shuttle have?
The space shuttle had two solid rocket boosters attached to its external fuel tank to provide additional thrust at liftoff.
What part of the shuttle drops off after takeoff on a space shuttle?
The Solid Rocket Booster is detached and dropped after the first minute or two of flight. It may then be recovered and used again.
What falls off a space shuttle first?
Solid rocket booster followed by external fuel tank
Why did the Space Shuttle Challenger blow up in 1986?
The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff in 1986 due to the failure of an O-ring seal in one of its solid rocket boosters. The extremely cold temperatures at launch caused the O-ring to become brittle, leading to a breach in the booster and subsequent explosion of the spacecraft.

Do all rocket use liquid fuel?
No, they do not. The side booster rockets used to launch the space shuttle, for example, use solid fuel.

What kind of a fuel did the Space Shuttle use?
At launch the solid rocket booster uses a solid propellant with a mixture of powdered aluminum and ammonium perchlorate. The Space Shuttle itself uses Liquid Hydrogen (Hydrazine) & liquid oxygen.
Why did the Space Shuttle Challenger blow up in 1986?
The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff in 1986 due to the failure of an O-ring seal in one of its solid rocket boosters. The extremely cold temperatures at launch caused the O-ring to become brittle, leading to a breach in the booster and subsequent explosion of the spacecraft.
How many solid rocket boosters does the space shuttle use?
The Space Shuttle used two solid rocket boosters during liftoff. These solid rocket boosters provided the additional thrust needed to propel the shuttle into orbit before separating and falling back to Earth.
What are some of the findings of the challenger?
The right solid rocket booster seal failed which ultimately led to the destruction of the shuttle. Evidence shows that oxygen masks were deployed indicating that at least some if not all of the crew survived the shuttle breakup.
What does the acronym SRB stand for?
There are numerous acronyms for the letters SRB. There are approximately seventy-nine SRB acronyms, which include: Solid Rocket Booster, Service Request Block, Self Run Business, Stress Rated Board, and Spoiled Rotten Brat.
How did the shuttle Challenger blow up?
The cold weather caused two of the O-rings in the right solid rocket booster to not seal properly, so hot gases escaped but left behind some aluminium that is in rocket fuel to cover up the hole. At 50 something seconds after liftoff there is a very strong wind that pushes it back and forth (that is also why the smoke cloud left behind is in a zig-zag), dislodging the aluminium and causing a fire, the fire then burned the connector between the rocket boosters and the fuel tank, dislodging the rocket booster. The booster then got hit by wind and made the booster hit into the fuel tank causing it to explode.
