Rocket fuel (called propellant) requires a lot of energy to produce the thrust necessary to move a space-bound vehicle beyond the pull of Earth's gravity. The NASA Space Shuttle was launched into space by the use two re-usable solid rocket motors, or RSRMs. Their propellant was a solid rocket fuel and when it burned, it caused a controlled explosion directed out the nozzle, causing enough force to move the Shuttle and the External Tank into low Earth orbit.

What is required for a rocket to lift off into space?
thrust that is greater than earth's gravity
The achievement of lifting a rocket off the ground and into space can be explained by?
Physics.
How do action reaction pairs explain how a rocket lifts off?
Rocket emits particles backward with great force. This means that there is also a force in the other direction, which pushes the rocket forward. Also apparent from conservation of momentum.
The achievement of lifting a rocket off the ground and into space can be explained by what?
newton's second law
How did the first biplane take off?
The engine was revved up, it rolled and gained lift then suddenly it was in flight.
How does a rocket lift off?
123
What causes a rocket to lift off?
myself
What causes a rocket to lift-off?
myself
Does a rocket need oxygen to lift off?
Yea
What is the name of the background song in the Toyota lift off commercial where some guy lifts off in a rocket?
The name of the background song in the Toyota lift off commercial where some guy lifts off in a rocket is Lift Off. This is a song which is done by Jay-Z and Kanye West.Ê
Why does a rocket use lift in take off?
to enter the sky
What is the meaning of lifted off?
It means when a rocket leaves its launch pad. "Lift Off!"
A rocket receives lift off due to?
A rocket is able to lift off because of something called thrust. This means if you apply force to one direction, it will also apply force to the opposite direction.
How many forces does a rocket have at lift off?
-- Gravity. -- Thrust of the rocket engines. Slightly after lift-off, as the vehicle begins to pick up some vertical speed, air resistance also appears.
A Catherine wheel or rocket is one?
a firework that you set off or a red rocket that can blow out fire
What is required for a rocket to lift off into space?
thrust that is greater than earth's gravity
How can heavy objects such as airplanes and spacecrafts travel through the air?
There are four forces that act on an airplane:Thrustwhich works against dragLift which works against weight (the force of gravity)When an airplane's lift is higher than its weight, it can climb and take off. If an airplane's lift can not overcome its weight, it will fall from the sky or not take off at all.In the case of a spacecraft, if it is being launched with the aid of a rocket, the force of the rocket engines will propel the rocket into space. The propulsion force of the launching vehicle will have to be stronger than its weight in order for it to lift off. If the rocket engine(s) fail or are not generating enough force the rocket will fall or not lift off at all.
