The U.S. space fuel market was valued at USD 7.1 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 22 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 15.2% from 2023 to 2030. The continuous advancement of technologies by space agencies in the U.S. has been instrumental in the development of efficient space fuels. Space fuel plays a critical role in various space applications, such as space tourism, rocket boosters, and launch vehicles. Numerous space missions, including suborbital satellites for communication systems, scientific missions to explore planets, and reusable space modules for tourism, have driven the need for specialized fuels. The evolution of propulsion systems focused on fuel efficiency has significantly emphasized the importance of space fuel in space exploration.
Liquid hydrogen, a cryogenic compound, is one of the key fuels used by the U.S. space program. It is a lightweight, powerful rocket propellant. The U.S. has made notable contributions to major space programs, including the development of the International Space Station and other advanced systems. Rocket propellants are essential for launching sustainable rockets, either into Earth’s orbit or beyond. NASA’s Apollo program, for example, used liquid hydrogen and oxygen as key fuels for spacecraft, which are now integral to future missions.

Space Fuel Development in Satellite Applications
The growing demand for advanced satellites has greatly increased as many modern technologies depend on satellite systems. By 2022, about 5,500 active satellites were orbiting the Earth, with an estimated 58,000 more projected by 2030. These satellites, launched at varying altitudes ranging from 80 miles to 22,000 miles, require different types of fuel depending on their purpose. For example, the Falcon 9 rocket developed by SpaceX uses around 902,793 lbs of fuel. NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, in collaboration with Thiokol, is working on reusable solid rocket motor (RSRM) propellants that reduce pollutant waste while minimizing environmental impact.
Currently, hydrazine-based fuels, which are toxic and highly volatile, are used for satellite launches. However, new technologies and collaborations are addressing the environmental impact and safety concerns of traditional propellants, especially in commercial satellite applications for communications, military operations, and high-tech networks.
Space Fuel as Rocket Propellants
Specific impulse is a key measure of space fuel effectiveness, reflecting how much thrust is produced per unit of fuel. Propellants can be classified as liquid, solid, or hybrid types. Liquid propellants, which are further divided into petroleum fuels, cryogenic propellants, and hypergolic propellants, are the most commonly used in space exploration. Liquid oxygen and RP-1 are used in first-stage boosters, while cryogenic propellants, despite their storage challenges, are crucial in space shuttle launches. Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen are among the most efficient, and liquid methane, which is clean and non-toxic, is being explored for future Mars missions. Hypergolic propellants, like hydrazine and MMH, are used in orbital maneuvering systems and reaction control systems.
Space fuel, as rocket propellants, plays a vital role in launching rockets and space vehicles, offering significant potential for expansion in the U.S. space industry.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial negative impact on several industries in the U.S., including space exploration. Disruptions in supply chains, social distancing measures, and overall economic slowdown led to the delay or suspension of several space programs. In October 2020, it was reported that COVID-19 affected 56 NASA projects, with 30 major technological research programs impacted. To mitigate these delays, NASA received around USD 60 million under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
Impact of the Russia-Ukraine War
The Russia-Ukraine war significantly affected the U.S. economy, extending its impact to the space industry. In 2022, the U.S. imposed sanctions on Russia, reducing its reliance on Russian space equipment and technologies. This disruption impacted the space fuel market, leading to decreased consumption of fuel for rocket boosters and launchers. However, the U.S. began to build its own launch capabilities, developing alternative engines and fuels, which created new opportunities for the domestic space fuel market.
