The development of liquid rocket fuel is credited to Dr. Robert H. Goddard, an American physicist and engineer often referred to as the "father of modern rocketry." Goddard conducted extensive research and experiments on rocket propulsion in the early 20th century. In 1926, he successfully launched the world's first liquid-fueled rocket in Auburn, Massachusetts.
The rocket Goddard launched used liquid oxygen (LOX) as the oxidizer and gasoline as the fuel. This achievement marked a significant milestone in the history of rocketry, as it demonstrated the feasibility of using liquid propellants for powering rockets. Goddard continued to make advancements in rocket technology, and his work laid the foundation for the development of liquid rocket engines that played a crucial role in subsequent space exploration efforts.

Why was the liquid-fuel rocket so important?
so it wont way the rocket
Why is liquid nitrogen and oxygen transported as a liquid into space?
Liquid Oxygen and Liquid Hydrogen are used as rocket fuel as it is the most effecient way to thrust rockets into space, Liquid Nitrogen is not transported into space.
Does oxygen only exist as gas?
No, in the rockets that NASA uses to launch vehicles into space they use liquid oxygen, as well as liquid hydrogen as rocket fuel.
Can potassium nitrate be used for rocket fuel instead of liquid oxygen?
It could be, but liquid oxygen works better. It could be made to work in solid rocket boosters, but those usually use ammonium perchlorate instead, because it can provide more energy.
What type of fuels are used in rockets?
The basis for almost all Walter rocket motors is hydrogen peroxide. With the chemical formula of (H2O2) it is an oxygen rich liquid which, upon decomposition, gives out heat at a rate equivalent to gunpowder. ROCKET FUEL As well as methane and diesel fuel
What is rocket fuel?
Rocket fuel is either liquid or solid. Other kinds are being developed.
Who developed fuel rockets?
Robert Goddard was the first to use liquid fuel in a rocket
Are the solid fuel rocket or the liquid fuel rocket faster?
liquid fuel
Is rocket fuel solid or liquid?
There are solid rocket fuels, and there are liquid rocket fuels.
What is crygenic engine?
A liquid-fuel rocket or a liquid rocket is a rocket with an engine that uses propellants in liquid form.
What liquid fuel is used as rocket fuel?
liquid Hydrogen + liquid Oxygen
