It will have kinetic energy from its velocity, and potential gravitational energy from how high it is above the earth. If it is still being driven by a rocket engine, these amounts of energy will be increasing. If the engine has stopped it is in free flight, and will continue to rise until reaching maximum height and minimum speed, then it will start to pick up speed as it falls. The total energy will be constant once the engine has stopped. Of course in practice air resistance has some effect, some energy will be given up to the air in frictional heating.

Chemical rocket
Alright, it is mainly the force of gravity. This is because if there was no gravity, you do not heat energy to fire the rocket up.
Apollo 11 used the Saturn V rocket to launch into space. The Saturn V was a three-stage rocket developed specifically for the Apollo program by NASA. It remains the largest and most powerful rocket ever built.
Gasoline stores chemical potential energy through the combustion of hydrocarbons. Rocket fuel stores chemical energy that is released through controlled combustion to propel rockets into space. Both fuel types transform stored energy into kinetic energy for various applications.
The chemical potential energy of a rocket is typically converted into kinetic energy as the rocket moves through space. This kinetic energy results from the motion of the rocket and is responsible for propelling the rocket forward.
The fuel in a rocket engine contains chemical energy. When the fuel is burned, it releases heat energy that is converted into thrust to propel the rocket forward.
It takes a lot of energy to put a rocket "into space". Most rockets don't have that kind of energy available, so it's not really an issue.
As a rocket launches, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy due to the rocket's increase in height. The rocket's engines also convert chemical energy into kinetic energy to propel the rocket into space.
There is more than one kind of potential energy. A rocket, when fueled, has chemical potential energy. When it burns its fuel, it loses chemical potential energy but gains gravitational potential energy. If it then falls back to the ground it loses gravitational potential energy but gains in heat and kinetic energy, until it burns up or crashes.
Rocket fuels are used. It contains chemical energy
The energy transfer for a rocket taking off involves the conversion of chemical energy stored in the rocket's fuel into kinetic energy as the rocket accelerates. As fuel is burned, it releases energy in the form of heat, which is then used to propel the rocket upwards. This process involves a transformation of potential energy to kinetic energy as the rocket gains altitude and velocity.
A rocket gaining height uses potential energy, which is the energy stored in the rocket's position above the ground. As the rocket climbs higher, its potential energy increases due to its position in the Earth's gravitational field. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy as the rocket descends back to the ground.
Rocket oil
The rocket's kinetic energy right after takeoff is at its maximum as it is moving at its highest velocity at that point. The kinetic energy of the rocket is a measure of the energy it possesses due to its motion.
In a rocket, chemical energy stored in the fuel is converted into thermal energy through combustion to heat the propellant. This thermal energy is then transformed into kinetic energy as the expanding gases are expelled out of the rocket nozzle, producing thrust that propels the rocket forward.
A rocket primarily converts chemical energy stored in its propellant into kinetic energy and thermal energy to produce thrust for propulsion.
