What type of fuel does the space shuttle use as it nears the orbit?
The space shuttle uses a combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel for its main engines during the ascent phase to reach orbit.
How can the space shuttle go to the moon?
The space shuttle is able to go to the moon by using a special type of fuel and rises up the earth atmosphere until it overcomes the force of gravity.
Is a space shuttle a rocket?
The space shuttle is a reusable spacecraft. It has 3 main engines powered by liquid fuel which are used to launch it into orbit with help from similarly reusable solid fuel boosters (the white rockets along the side of the shuttle during launch). When returning after a mission, the space shuttle is unpowered and glides back for a landing. See related question.
What type of satellite provides power for shuttle missions?
Satellites don't provide power for space shuttles. The shuttle could receive power from the international space station, but besides that, the shuttle wouldn't take any power from any satellites.
What type of fuel was used to launch the space shuttle?
The space shuttle used a combination of solid rocket boosters and liquid fuel. The solid rocket boosters were powered by a mixture of powdered aluminum and ammonium perchlorate, while the main engines used liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel.

What type of reaction does hydrogenygen in a space shuttle fuel system?
The Space Shuttle Main Engines burn Hydrogen and Oxygen. The byproduct of this reaction is water. The formula would be: 2H2 + O2 = 2H20 + energy

What type of space craft was the challenger?
It was a space shuttle.

What type of spacecrafts were in use in the 1980s?
The space shuttle
Which kind of rocket engines are used on the space shuttle and why?
Space Shuttle Main Engines (SSME) are Rocketdyne RS-24 liquid-fuel rocket engines powered by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The Solid Rocket Boosters used during ascent are solid fuel rockets manufactured by Thiokol Corporation fueled by a mixture of ammonium perchlorate oxidizer, aluminum, an iron oxide catalyst and polymers as a binding agent.
What is the most common type of space shuttle?
a big one
What type of aircraft use hydrazine?
I'm not sure if they are the only ones, but the F-16 and the Space Shuttle both use it as the fuel for their "EPU", or emergency power unit.
What type of control surface does a space shuttle use?
elovon and rudder sytem
