Space Shuttles By Frederick

Launching Space Shuttles To lift the 4.5 million pound (2.05 million kg) shuttle from the pad to orbit (115 to 400 miles/185 to 643 km) above the Earth, the shuttle uses the following components: two solid rocket boosters (SRB) three main engines of the orbiter the external fuel tank (ET) orbital maneuvering system (OMS) on the orbiter

Space Shuttle Liftoff The two orbital maneuvering systems' (OMS) engines are located in pods on the aft section of the orbiter, one on either side of the tail. These engines place the shuttle into final orbit, change the shuttle's position from one orbit to another, and slow the shuttle down for re-entry.

Space Shuttle Liftoff

Space Shuttle in Orbit Once in space, the shuttle orbiter is your home for seven to 14 days. The orbiter can be oriented so that the cargo bay doors face toward the Earth or away from the Earth depending upon the mission objectives; in fact, the orientation can be changed throughout the mission. One of the first things that the commander will do is to open the cargo bay doors to cool the orbiter

Starboard Side & Port Side

Life in a Space Shuttle The orbiter must provide you with an environment similar to Earth. You must have air, food, water, and a comfortable temperature. The orbiter must also take away the wastes that your body produces (carbon dioxide, urine, feces) and protect you from fire.Earth

Life In a Space Shuttle On board the space shuttle, you need to have the following: atmosphere similar to Earth carbon dioxide removed contaminating or trace gases removed normal humid environment
