A seal in the shuttle’s right solid-fuel rocket booster designed to prevent leaks from the fuel tank during liftoff weakened in the frigid temperatures and failed, and hot gas began pouring through the leak. The fuel tank ...
即在SRB(Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster)脱离后,使用SSME(Space Shuttle Main Engine,便是我们所熟知的RS-25系列发动机)反推航天飞机,使其返回发射场附近的机场跑道。 与其他火箭的首飞任务相似,STS-1也暴露出了众多问题。例如,工程师们低估了SRB点火后带来的冲击波和震动。自那之后,工程师们在发射台上安装了...
The problem began with exceptionally cold weather, which prevented a rubber O-ring on one of the shuttle's solid rocket boosters from maintaining its seal, allowing hot gas to leak and damage the shuttle's external fuel tank and the hardware attaching the booster to the vehicle. The right so...

A colossal space shuttle fuel tank completed its 19-hour trek through the streets ofLos Angeles on Saturday to join the retired orbiter Endeavour on display at the California Science Center.
Following the report of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) in August 2003, attention has focused squarely on the external fuel tank (ET). The largest element of the shuttle system, which also includes the orbiter...
The external fuel tank includes the main engines, twin solid rocket boosters, and the orbiter. At 27.6 feet wide and 154 feet tall, the external fuel tank is the biggest element of the space shuttle, and it is the only part that cannot be reused. The aluminum skin of the tank is a ...
