What else can I help you with?
What type of fuel does the space shuttle need?
It uses rocket fuel
How did people get the space shuttle in space?
The space shuttle was launched into space using a combination of solid rocket boosters and liquid fuel engines. The boosters provided the initial thrust needed to get the shuttle off the ground, while the main engines continued to propel it into orbit. Once in space, the shuttle would orbit the Earth until it was ready to re-enter the atmosphere and land back on Earth.
What does the space shuttle use to place a satellite into space?
The space shuttle uses its payload bay to carry and deploy satellites into space. Once the shuttle reaches the desired orbit, the robotic arm or astronauts inside the shuttle release the satellite into space.
What kind of fuel does the space shuttle use?
The space shuttle used a mixture of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel for its main engines. These propellants are combustion products of a chemical reaction that produces high thrust for the shuttle's liftoff and orbital maneuvers.
What is orange object on space shuttle?
The orange object on the space shuttle is the external fuel tank. It contains the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen that are needed to fuel the shuttle's main engines during launch. Once the fuel is consumed, the tank is jettisoned and burns up in the atmosphere.
When the Space Shuttle was transported atop a 747 was the Space Shuttle full of fuel?
No.
Space shuttle that makes it fly?
The Shuttle is launched by two Solid Booster Rockets attached to a large rust-colored fuel tank. In space, it uses it's own boosters.
How large is a space shuttle?
The space shuttle orbiter is 122.17 ft long, has a wingspan of 78.06 ft, and stands 58.58 ft high on its landing gear. The space shuttle stack (the orbiter, solid rocket boosters and external fuel tank) is 180 ft tall.
What type of fuel does the space shuttle need?
It uses rocket fuel
How does the space shuttle carry enough fuel for a mission?
The space shuttle uses liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel. Generally a sufficient quantity of fuel is carried but if need be re-fuelling can be done in space.
What is the fuel for the rockets that carries the shuttle to space?
High octane jet fuel.
What does the Space Shuttle used to place a satellite into space?
A liquid fuel tank

Why is hydrogen used in the space shuttle engine?
To fuel it and cool it
What types of fuel power the space shuttle?
fossil fuels
