What kind of fuel used to propel a rocket in to space?
Um, Rocket Fuel. It is a mixture of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen
Which fuel is used in rockets?
There are two three types of fuel used in rockets 1) Solid fuel - an aluminum powder used for an initial boost into space. 2) Liquid fuel - usually super-cold liquid hydrogen and oxygen is used is the Space Shuttle's main engines during launch. 3) Hypergolic fuel - Monomethylhydrazine and Nitrogen Tetroxide does not need a source of ignition. It is mainly used for maneuvering in space.
Did the Saturn V use the same fuel as the space shuttle?
No. The Saturn V used a first-stage booster of RP-1 (kerosene) and liquid oxygen. The second stage used liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, as the shuttle engines do.The shuttle uses liquid hydrogen and oxygen for the main engines, and also two solid-fuel boosters (SRBs) when launched.
What is the fuel in rockets?
Liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen are used as the propellant in the high efficiency main engines of the Space Shuttle. LOX/LH2 also powered the upper stages of the Saturn V and Saturn 1B rockets. Another cryogenic fuel with desirable properties for space propulsion systems is liquid methane.
Who invented the first liquid- fuel rocket?
Dr. Robert H. Goddard a New England physics professor created the first liquid fuel rocket using liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, the same fuels used today to power the space shuttle main engines.
What liquid fuel is used as rocket fuel?

What is name of rocket fuel?
The name of a common rocket fuel is liquid hydrogen, which is often used in combination with liquid oxygen. There are also other types of rocket fuels including solid fuels and hybrid fuels, but liquid hydrogen is one of the most commonly used.
