The main three engines use liquid hydrogen and an oxygen oxidizer. These are delivered under pressure to fuel the main engines.
A space shuttle uses a combination of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen. Solid rocket boosters use a rubberized compound of aluminum and perchlorate oxidizer.
Orbiter main engines use liquid hydrogen / liquid oxygen that is stored in the external tank.
Hydrogen fuel is burned with oxygen-rocket engine.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of fuel did the space shuttle use?
Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.
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.
In space what kind of fuel is used by space shuttle?
Space shuttles use a combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen as fuel for their main engines. These two chemicals combine in a controlled combustion process to produce the thrust needed for the shuttle to launch and navigate through space.
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.
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 engine does the space shuttle have?
The Space Shuttle Main Engines (SSMEs) also known as the RS-24 engines are liquid fueled reusable engines made by Rocketdyne and burn liquid hydrogen as their fuel and liquid oxygen as the oxidiser. The shuttle has three engines. The fuel is stored in the large orange External Tank strapped to the shuttle's belly. On the way to orbit, the shuttle also uses two reusable solid rocket boosters (SRBs) which provide about 83% of the takeoff thrust. These use a solid fuel containing aluminum (the fuel), ammonium perchlorate (the oxidiser), iron oxide (a catalyst), and the mixture is held together with an epoxy and a binder (which also acts as fuel). While in space, the shuttle uses the reaction control system (RCS) thrusters which are seen on various places on the shuttle orbiter, and two orbital manoeuvering system (OMS) engines. The RCS and OMS use monomethyl hydrazine as the fuel and nitrogen tetroxide as the oxidiser.
Can you use externality in a sentence?
An externality launch feature of the space shuttle are its fuel pods.
What part of the space shuttle cannot be reused?
The external fuel tank of the space shuttle cannot be reused. It is a one-time use component that is jettisoned and burns up in the atmosphere upon reentry.
What kind of space shuttle did Apollo 13 use?
Apollo 13 did not use a Space Shuttle. Apollo 13 was in April, 1970. The Space Shuttle was not invented until the '80s. Apollo 13 was launched by Saturn V.
How many tons of rocket fuel does the shuttle use during liftoff?
The Space Shuttle used approximately 1.6 million pounds (800 tons) of solid rocket fuel during liftoff. This solid rocket fuel was primarily used in the twin solid rocket boosters that provided the initial thrust to launch the shuttle into space.
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.
When the Space Shuttle was transported atop a 747 was the Space Shuttle full of fuel?
No.
