The US's first solid fuel rocket capable launching a satellite into orbit was named Scout. I think this was the first solid fuel rocket to carry payloads into orbit because the Soviet Union did not begin it's solid rocket program until later.

It is possible the Minuteman ICBM may have been the first solid rocket to reach space but in a ballistic flight (go up and fall back down like a cannon ball), but I haven't been able to find the date of the first Minuteman sub orbital flight and both rockets were developed at about the same time.

What is the Difference between solid propelled missile and liquid propelled missile?

Solid fueled missiles are just that. They are propelled by a solid fuel. For an everyday example of that, pick up an Estes rocket kit from Michael's craft store and look at it's propellant. Liquid propelled missiles us a liquid propellant, like your car. Liquid propellants also require a second oxidiser, either air or stored oxidiser to burn, solid propellants generally have the oxidizer mixed in. Solid fueled rockets typically can be handled rougher as they are more stable than their liquid counterparts. Hope that answers your question.


What are three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts?

Three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts are liquid-propellant rockets, solid-propellant rockets, and hybrid rockets. Liquid-propellant rockets use liquid fuel and oxidizer, solid-propellant rockets use solid fuel and oxidizer mixed together, and hybrid rockets use a combination of solid and liquid propellants.

What are the two main types of rockets?

The two main types of rockets are liquid fuel rockets, which use liquid propellants like liquid oxygen and kerosene, and solid fuel rockets, which use a solid mixture of fuel and oxidizer. Liquid fuel rockets offer more control and efficiency, while solid fuel rockets are simpler in design and more reliable.


Where do some rockets get their oxygen from?

Some rockets, such as liquid fuel rockets, carry liquid oxygen (LOX) as an oxidizer in a separate tank. The LOX is then mixed with the rocket's fuel and ignited to create thrust. Other rockets, like solid fuel rockets, have an oxidizer mixed into their solid fuel composition.


What are solid rockets?

The correct term is "solid propellant rocket". These are rockets that burn fuel that is not a liquid(or they are NOT liquid fuel rockets). These rockets have a fuel that is poured into the rocket case and turns to a solid. Once ignited, there is no stopping the burn or controlling it.A simple example of this is rocket you shoot on the 4th of July. It burns black powder that has been formed into a cardboard case.Whereas, a liquid fuel rocket can be controlled by varying the amount of fuel that is injected into the rocket motor.
