Orbiter (S) History:
The Space Shuttle Orbiter is the Space Shuttle's orbital vehicle.
The orbiter carries most of the main propulsion system for reusable
purpose, but the propellant for the three main engines is fed by an
external Tank, and solid boosters, helping it to propel during the
first two minutes of ascent. Its crew cabin consists of the
flight deck, mid-deck and the utility area. The Orbiter hs a
large 60 by 15 ft payload bay, filling most of the midfuselage.
There are three Space Shuttle Main Engines (SSMEs) mounted on the
Orbiter's aft fuselage in a triangular pattern. The Orbital
Maneuvering System (OMS) provides orbital maneuvers, including
insertion, circularization, transfer, rendezvous, abort to orbit and
abort once around. The Reaction Control System (RCS) provides
altitude control and translation along with the pitch, roll and yaw
axes during the flight phases of orbit insertion, orbit and
re-entry. The Thermal Protection System (TPS) covers the
outside of the Orbiter for protection from cold temperature.
The Orbiter is made primarily from aluminum alloy. There are
six individual orbiters; the Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger,
Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour.
