Add to ORKGConsiderable progress has been made in designing the Space Shuttle orbiter and defining its subsystems since the development contract was awarded by NASA to Rockwell International in August, 1972. During the past two years, NASA and Rockwell International, Space Division have been engaged in an intensive effort to refine orbiter preliminary design concepts and to translate them into reality. This paper describes the orbiter \u27s configuration and its major subsystems. The general arrangement of the vehicle and its major assemblies are described. Orbiter flight characteristics and mission profiles are summarized. Selected subsystems including structure, thermal protection, propulsion, power, reaction control, orbital maneuvering, environmen...
