What Makes Up the Space Shuttle? The space shuttle is the most complex machine ever created by human beings. The first shuttle was launched on April 12, 1981, and over 100 missions have been launched since then. The shuttle consists of three main parts:  Orbiter  External Tank  Solid Rocket Boosters

The Orbiter Three orbiters remain in service Wingspan meters Length meters Height meters Payload 24,990 Kg

The External Tank Largest element of the shuttle Contains liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen Length 46.9 meters Capacity 2,000,000 liters Jettisoned 8.5 min. after launch

The Solid Rocket Boosters Provide 70% of launch thrust Reusable Jettisoned 125 sec. after launch Length 45.5 meters Thrust 14.7 million N (each)
