Shuttles need to have either a or a  with  to be able to launch and fly to other planets. To use the thrusters they need enough fuel to be able to travel.

 * Landing on a planet is free and costs no fuel

Solid-Fuel Thrusters have 4 uses, and will break on the fourth use.

Hydrazine Thrusters have up to 24 uses, requiring the use of in one of the 3 fuel slots. Each canister of Hydrazine gives 8 uses.
