Shuttle During Orbit Phase
- Orbit Operations
- While on orbit, shuttle systems provide safe and reliable support for the crew to complete all mission objectives.
- Crew Wakeup Calls
- By tradition, flight controllers in Mission Control start every new crew day on orbit with a wakeup call.
- Flight Plan
- Follow the crew's activities throughout the mission.
- Orbit Insertion
- After the external tank separates, the orbital maneuvering system engines place the shuttle in a pre-determined orbital altitude.
- On Orbit
- While on-orbit, computers support the shuttle's Guidance, Navigation, and Control systems to achieve the proper position, velocity and attitude necessary to accomplish the mission objectives.
- On Orbit
Checkout
- One day before the end of the mission, the crew performs a check of the shuttle systems used during entry and landing.
- Orbiter Structure
- The orbiter is divided into nine major sections.
- Payloads
- Among the primary objectives for this shuttle mission are the scientific and technical goals of the onboard payloads.
- Earth Observation Photos
- A series of the best 500 photos taken by shuttle astronauts.
- Fact Sheets
- Living and working in space offers unique challenges for shuttle crews.
- Living in the Space Shuttle
- Breathable air, appetizing and nourishing food, and a comfortable place to sleep are as important in space as they are on Earth.
- Food for Space Flight
- Although space constraints and a lack of refrigeration provide logistical challenges for food planning and preparation, shuttle crews enjoy a wide range of delicious meals while on orbit.
- Orbiter Systems
- The Space Shuttle Reference Manual provides detailed data about onboard shuttle systems, including instruments and equipment required during the orbit phase.
- Shuttle Diagrams
- The Shuttle Operational Data Book includes many system schematics in PDF format.
