LBRCE {AP} PRESENTATION BY: The Space Shuttle was a partially reusable low Earth orbital spacecraft system operated by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Its official program name was Space Transportation System, taken from a 1969 plan for a system of reusable spacecraft of which it was the only item funded for development.[10] The first of four orbital test flights occurred in 1981, leading to operational flights beginning in 1982. They were used on a total of 135 missions from 1981 to 2011, launched from the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. Operational missions launched numerous satellites, interplanetary probes, and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST); conducted science experiments in orbit; and participated in construction and servicing of the International Space Station. 2.

3.  “ SPACE SHUTTLE ” Officially known as
“ Space Transportation System ” {STS} .
 In 1969 a thought of Reusable Spacecraft was raised
and as a result Space Shuttle was in operation.
 In that plan it was the only item to be funded.

4.  Finally it was tested in 1981 and these were
operational from 1982.
 During their period of operation from 1981-2011
they were used in 135 missions.

5.  Space shuttle
components includes
1) External tank
2) Pair of SRBs
3) Orbiter vehicle

6.  EXTERNAL TANK :-
 Its function is to supply liquid oxygen and hydrogen to
Main engines . It acts as backbone to vehicle providing
Attachments to SRBs and orbiter .
 PAIR OF SRBs :-
 Solid rocket boosters function is to provide initial thrust
during liftoff that is about 85%.they were jettisoned two
minutes after launch.
 ORBITER VEHICLE :-
 Its function is to introduce payload into the earth orbit.

12. THERMAL PROTECTION SYSTEM:-
 TPS on the orbiter is the biggest defense system
to the heat encountered during re-entry.
 TPS mainly constitutes of tiles , which are reusable.
 Tiles are made up of “ Amorphous silica fiber ” and
these are able to withstand 3000 F.

13. REUSABLE CERAMIC TILES:-

14. COMPOSITION OF TILES
 These tiles consists of
90% air and remaining
10% silica fiber.
 As these are bad
conductors of heat they
can touch with bare
hands at 2200F.
