Techradar's top-ranking Ultrabook
reviews.
The Space Shuttle was a partially reusable launch system and orbital spacecraft operated by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for human spaceflight missions. The system combined rocket launch, orbital spacecraft, and re-entry spaceplane with modular add-ons. The first of four orbital test flights occurred in 1981 leading to operational flights beginning in 1982. It was used on a total of 135 missions from 1981 to 2011 all launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida.
Major missions included launching numerous
satellites, interplanetary probes, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), conducting
space science experiments, and constructing and servicing the International Space
Station. Major components included the orbiters, recoverable boosters, external
tanks, payloads, and supporting infrastructure. Five space-worthy orbiters were
built; two were destroyed in mission accidents.The Space Shuttle at launch
consisted of the Orbiter Vehicle (OV), one external tank (ET), and two Solid
Rocket Boosters (SRBs). It was launched vertically like a conventional rocket
with thrust from the two SRBs and three main engines. During launch, the
external tank provided fuel for the orbiter's main engines. The SRBs and ET
were jettisoned before the orbiter reached orbit. At the conclusion of the
orbiter's space mission, it fired its thrusters to drop out of orbit and
re-enter the lower atmosphere. The orbiter decelerated in the atmosphere before
flying like a glider but with reaction control system thrusters before landing
on a long runway.
