  1. Space Flight Technology

  2. Different types of Space Shuttles • Communication • Observatory • Flyby • Lander • Penetrator

  3. Inside a Space Shuttle

  4. 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.

  5. Flyby • 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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
