Book Synopsis Space Shuttle Separation Mechanisms by : National Aeronautics and Space Adm Nasa
Book excerpt: The development of space shuttle separation devices is reviewed to illustrate the mechanisms involved in separating the Orbiter from the Boeing 747 carrier aircraft and from the externally mounted propellant tank. Other aspects of the separation device development discussed include design evolution, operational experience during the orbiter approach and landing tests, and the work required to produce an operational system.
