SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The Space Shuttle was the most complex space vehicle design of its time. It was comprised of four main components: the External Tank (ET); three Space Shuttle Main Engines; two Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs); and the Orbiter vehicle.

Detailed explanation-2: -A rocket is a vehicle that launches into space.

Detailed explanation-3: -We launch satellites and spacecraft into space by putting them on rockets carrying tons of propellants. The propellants give the rocket enough energy to boost away from Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-4: -NASA-Shuttle Basics. The Space Shuttle is the world’s first reusable spacecraft, and the first spacecraft in history that can carry large satellites both to and from orbit. The Shuttle launches like a rocket, maneuvers in Earth orbit like a spacecraft and lands like an airplane.

Detailed explanation-5: -The rear of the orbiter contained the Space Shuttle Main Engines (SSME), which provided thrust during launch, as well as the Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS), which allowed the orbiter to achieve, alter, and exit its orbit once in space.

Detailed explanation-6: -High-energy Particle Detectors. Voyager’s Cosmic Ray Subsystem (CRS). Low-Energy Charged-Particle Detectors. Plasma Instruments. Dust Detectors. Magnetometers. Plasma Wave Detectors. Mass Spectrometers. Planetary Radio Astronomy Instruments. More items
