The Space Shuttle System is made up of three parts:
* the orbiter (usually called the Shuttle) -- which is the airplane looking thing that the astronauts are in and which goes into space and returns. * the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) -- the two pointed white tubular rockets of each side during launch and dropped off after launch
* the External Tank -- the big orange tank the Shuttle sits on during launch and is full of liquid fuel. It is also dropped off before the orbiter goes into space
Three different fuels are used -- two during launch and ascent (the trip through the atmosphere to space)
If you are asking specifically about the orbiter spacecraft after it is in space, it burns hydrazine with oxygen to move around in orbit and to position itself for returning to earth .
The SRBs use solid propellant that is a mixture of aluminum and ammonium perchlorate.
The orbiter has three main engines that are used during launch and ascent. These engines burn hydrogen and oxygen from the External Tank.
