Rocket engines are reaction engines

The shuttle weighs 165,000 pounds empty. The external tank weighs 78,100 pounds empty. The two solid rocket boosters weigh 185,000 pounds empty each. But then you have to load in the fuel. Each SRB holds 1.1 million pounds of fuel. The external tank holds 143,000 gallons of liquid oxygen (1,359,000 pounds) and 383,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen (226,000 pounds). The whole vehicle - shuttle, external tank, solid rocket booster casings and all the fuel - has a total weight of 4.4 million pounds at launch. 4.4 million pounds to get 165,000 pounds in orbit is a pretty big difference!

Rocket Engines

Space Shuttle

Solid-Fuel Rockets Solid-fuel rocket engines have three important advantages: Simplicity Low cost Safety They also have two disadvantages: Thrust cannot be controlled Once ignited, the engine cannot be stopped or restarted

Liquid Propellant Rockets

Liquid-fuel rocket engines have three important advantages: Start-restart capability “Throttleable” Less vibration, smoother ride They also have two disadvantages: More complex Fuels not easily stored

Fuel Combinations Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen - used in the Space Shuttle main enginesSpace Shuttle main engines Gasoline and liquid oxygen - used in Goddard's early rockets Kerosene and liquid oxygen - used on the first stage of the large Saturn V boosters in the Apollo programSaturn V boosters Alcohol and Liquid Oxygen - used in the German V2 rockets Nitrogen tetroxide (NTO)/monomethyl hydrazine (MMH) - used in the Cassini enginesCassini engines
