Modeling the space shuttle [PDF]
Proceedings of the Winter Simulation Conference, 2003 We summarize our methodology for modeling space shuttle processing using discrete event simulation. Why the project was initiated, what the overall goals were, how it was funded, and who were the members of the project team are identified. We describe the flow of the space shuttle flight hardware through the supporting infrastructure and how the-model ...

Response: Space Shuttle Development
Science, 1986The technical-planning and decision-making processes involved in the initiation of the NASA Space Shuttle program in 1970-1972 are briefly discussed, responding to the critical evaluation of Logsdon (1986). The complex nature of the interactions among White House, OMB, DOD, and NASA; the difficulty of making long-term commitments under the U.S. system;

Canadarm and the space shuttle
Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A: Vacuum, Surfaces, and Films, 1983‘‘Canadarm’’ is the remote manipulator system (RMS) given by Canada to NASA for installation on the shuttle orbiter. The RMS is to be used for deployment, retrieval, and handling of payloads up to 65 000 lb mass, 15 ft in diameter and 60 ft in length. Controllability, operating constraints, flight environments, safety, reliability, volume, weight, and ...

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1972
Discussion of the performance potential of the Space Shuttle and the high-energy transportation system to be derived from it. It is shown that, in addition to its cost effectiveness in earth-orbital missions, the Shuttle promises to be of major significance for future solar-system exploration.

The Space Shuttle system [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1984 The development and subsequent operation of the Shuttle as America’s primary space transportation system is the culmination of several decades of research, technology application and engineering. This vast endeavour, which has enjoyed unprecedented success to date, is one of the great team efforts in our technological history.

Space Shuttle base heating [PDF]
Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets, 1983 First-stage and second-stage heating environments of the base region of the Space Shuttle are characterized in detail in terms of Orbiter-main-engine-plume and booster-plume radiation, freestream-air convective cooling, and reversed-plume-flow convective heating as they affect each base-region design point. Design predictions are compared with selected
