航天飞机计划 航天飞机(Space Shuttle),NASA官方称之为太空运输系统(Space Transportation System, STS),在1972年开始研发,1981年首飞,135次任务之后,于2011年退役。NASA在阿波罗计划结束后,进行天空实验室计划期间,设想了一种可以多次往返于轨道和地面之间的飞船,后来发展成为航天飞机的设计。它具有达24吨的近地轨道运...
阿提米絲1號分成「太空發射系統火箭」(SLS rocket)與「獵戶座太空船」(Orion MPCV)兩部分,其中多數技術都是過去已使用多年的成熟產品,比如SLS火箭就是利用過去的太空梭計畫(Space Transportation System, space shuttle,)所留下的資材與設備,比如棕色的主火箭,就沿用太空梭的外掛燃料槽,而尾部加裝4具RS-25主引擎,就...
名为STS-1的任务是太空运输系统-1(Space Transportation System)的简称,这是美国宇航局航天飞机进行首次轨道飞行。哥伦比亚号是首个100吨重的轨道器,它搭载了两名宇航员进入太空,绕地球飞行了37次,然后重新进入大气层,并滑行回跑道。宇航员们并没有在外面冒险,所以他们只穿了紧急弹射逃生服,这是美国空军高空压力服...
This paper illustrates how a complex application, the data\nacquisition and Space Shuttle Launch Control System at NASA Kennedy\nSpace Center, which requires both intensive communications and high\nprocessing power, can be mapped into an advanced open system\narchitecture. This is achieved by ...
See Space Shuttle Atlantis up-close at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. This exhibit celebrates the incredible story of NASA's Space Shuttle Program.
NASA's space shuttles have racked up an amazing set of accomplishments over the last 30 years, not to mention the miles and statistics
Space shuttle elements and launch The space shuttle, officially called the Space Transportation System, was made up of three main components [Infographic: NASA's Space Shuttle — From Top to Bottom]: Two solid rocket boosters, which provided most of the shuttle's thrust during launch ...
Credit: NASA NASA began developing the Space Launch System (SLS) in earnest when the Space Shuttle program ended in 2011. This super-heavy-lift rocket will be key to NASA's return to the moon, but the escalating costs have some inside and outside the agency concerned. The Government Accoun...
NASA added the prefix of "STS" (Space Transportation System) to each shuttle mission. Of the 135 missions, 133 flights went as planned, with two ending in disaster. [Most Memorable Shuttle Missions] 52: The total number of satellites, space station components and other payloads returned from...
