Depends of which rocket you are talking about.
Fire arrows used gun powder, but they were made to explode.
Goddars rocket used liquid oxygen and gasoline.
The Saturn V F1 engines used Liquid oxygen and kerosene while the J2 engines used liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen.

Which countries were the first to use rockets in a war?
actualy China did with rockets made from tubes of scrap and black powder fuel
What are two ways the Chinese used gun powder?
1. Fireworks. The Chinese first used gunpowder for use in firecrackers and fireworks. the military applications came later.2. Weapons. The Chinese used gunpowder as warheads in crude rockets and as the propellant in primitive guns and cannons.
One of the first propellant were used how on a rocket?
get to class
Which king was the first to use rockets in warfare?
Tipu Sultan, Ruler of Mysore, India used rockets for the first time during the Battle of Pollilur (1780), during the Second Anglo-Mysore War.
Rockets were first used as what?
weapons/war
What is the propellant in XIPS rockets?
Hydrogen
What has the author F A Williams written?
F. A. Williams has written: 'Fundamental aspects of solid propellant rockets' -- subject(s): Solid propellant rockets, Solid propellants
What has the author R E Sorkin written?
R. E. Sorkin has written: 'Gas dynamics and thermodynamics of solid-propellant rockets' -- subject(s): Solid propellant rockets
Rockets first use was for?
The first rockets were firework's built by the Chinese
One of the first propellant used was?
Gunpowderwas the first propellant used
Fuel for shuttle takeoff?
The main engines use liquid hydrogen (LH2) and liquid oxygen (LOX). The booster rockets use solid fuel, which is Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellant (APCP).
What are some advantages and dis advantages of the rocket?
rockets have more disadvantages than advantages rockets are extremely inefficient they consume enormous amounts of fuel, and most still use liquid propellant which is hard to find in space, they do however have a huge thrust to weight ratio
Who were the first people to use rockets?
The Chinese were the first to use rockets, and they used them for fireworks displays. Military or space travel applications came much later.
Were the Chinese first to use rockets?
yes
These three men are known for there work with the first liquid or solid propellant?
Konstantin Eduardovitch Tsiolkovsky, Robert Hutchings Goddard, and Hermann Oberth are the three men known for their work with rockets. They designed the first liquid and solid propellants.
Why do rockets drop there fuel tanks?
the efficiency of rocket propellant is called specific impulse the more the specific impulse the more the performance .
What is the difference between solid propellant and liquid propellant rockets?
The Shuttle uses both. The outer rockets on the main body are aluminum oxide. Once lit you are on. In the big container sits a lot of separated liquid Oxygen and liquid Hydrogen. When mixed at the output nozzles, a steerable, controllable jet of very hot water is let go. The difference being solid rockets go on then off. The liquid ones are controllable.
