Space Shuttles In Motion

Space is the final frontier for mankind. It is the most unknown aspect of human life. The most effective way for further exploration and to conduct experiments in space is the travel into space using space shuttles. Space travel is important but it is a high risk procedure. If something happens to a shuttle while in launch, orbit or landing, it is near on impossible for the lives of the astronauts to be saved. This is why the design of the space shuttle needs to be perfect. To achieve this, the physics behind the motion of the space shuttle must be well known. Today I will be talking about the main parts of the space shuttle, the physics behind the launch, obit and re-entry of the space shuttle, as well as the way space shuttles prevent burning up when returning to the atmosphere.

There are three main parts to a space shuttle which are the Orbiter Vehicle, the external tank and the solid rocket boosters. The Space Shuttle Orbiter is the orbital vehicle of the Space Shuttle. It......
