Different types of Space Shuttles
Inside a Space Shuttle
Orbiter Orbiter Stats: Height: (on runway)
57 feet Length:
122 feet Wingspan:
78 feet Mid Fuselage:
Length: 60 feet Width: 17 feetHeight: 13 feet
Aft Fuselage Length: 18 feet Width: 22 feetHeight:20 feet
Payload Bay Doors Length: 60 feetDiameter: 15 feetWidth: 22.67 feetSurface: 1,600 feet2
Forward Fuselage is the living quarters and cockpit.
The Mid Fuselage is the main part of the shuttle and the storage area. It has a 50f remote controlled arm to load and unload loads.
Aft Fuselage is the steering, main engine and tail.
The Flyby space crafts are satellites that orbit the planets and collect information about them and then move onto the next planet.
It is really hard for the shuttle to slow down in space, so it uses a thing called areobraking. It is when the shuttle goes into the planets atmosphere and uses it to slow down to a speed where it can take information.
Flyby
Lander
Equipment on the Phoenix Mars Lander:› Solar Array- converts the suns radiation to electricity.› Surface Stereoscopic Imager- provides a 3D map to help
it choose a digging site.› Microscopy, Electrochemistry & Conductivity Analyzer
(MECA)- tools at the front of the Lander to examine the soil.
› Thermal & Evolved-Gas Analyzer (TEGA)- Determines if the soil has organic compounds and the properties of the soil.
› Meteorological Station- Keeps a record of the seasons and temperature of Mars.
› Robotic Arm- Collects samples and delivers them to other instruments.
Special Requirements for space Flight
For people to explore space, their crafts need to be able to stand the pressure and heat in space.
When Landers enter other planets atmospheres, they need to have a heat shield. They also have air bags on the outside to soften the landing, but they can bounce around for 15 minutes.
Most crafts use solar energy to power themselves so they have solar panels on top
