[@nimblefrogcreations]

Another fun fact I learned at Space Academy in Huntsville, AL is the reason the Main Engines fire at T-6 seconds is because they are angled slightly (note the gimble test earlier). The angle of them causes the whole structure to tilt when they fire and the structure then rights itself. It takes approximately 6 seconds for the structure to come back to vertical so it's pointing straight up when the SRBs fire. If you watch old videos of shuttle launches you can see the "twang" that happens with the main engine ignition.

[@party4keeps28]

Scott Manley has a great clip showing just how much the stack would flex. It's actually a bird strike video but the camera happens to be lined up just right to see this.

[@andysairandspaceflight]

Not exactly. The three main engines go through a staggered start and are then monitored for about 4 seconds to allow start up transients to steady out and ensure that the engines each reach at least 90% thrust or a shutdown of all engines will be commanded. The rest of the time before T-0 is to account for the "twang" so that the vehicle transients are complete at SRB ignition. (If you go back and look at the STS-1 Mission report, it talks about a 5.6 second interval for SSME start up transients which implies only 1 second added for the twang, but one old workbook I have says more so not sure of the exact number.)

[@PWfrom92807]

I went to Space Academy in Huntsville as well, years ago. Loved it and it gave me a continuing passion for space exploration!

[@GhostHostMemories]

Oms: orbital maneuvering system Also the shuttle rolled for 2 main reasons. 1) so the communication antennas weren't obstructed by the tank 2) the more complicated item was the flight azimuth. Basically you need to go in 3 dimensions to get to space. That's very complex math for the computers. Rolling to get the right angle removes 1 direction to manage. Now its only height and distance to calculate. Simplifies the computations for the computers to get into orbit.

[@JaredOwen]

Yup! I was trying keep things simple for that part but yes - the math does get very complex

[@BrianHaddad]

@@JaredOwen Have you seen the video on the roll program by The Everyday Astronaut about why SpaceX still does a roll despite using much more complex computers that can perform the math in all 3 dimensions? It's pretty fun. :)

[@kevind814]

Does the launch go straight up or at a slight angle? Why not just launch at the angle that has the shuttle in the down position to start with?

[@ConfusedNyan]

In fact, if we're talking strictly crewed launches, up until very recently, late last year, the Soyuz vehicles used rockets which were unable to roll. That's because the Soyuz rocket did not have the necessary computing to handle a roll program. To adjust the launch azimuth, the launch platform had to do that "roll" maneuver on the ground, while the spacecraft did the pitchover maneuver. Starting with the 2.1a (which was tested last year with a robotic "crew member" and actually flown with crew this year), like the Space Shuttle and the Falcon 9, it has the capability to do a full roll maneuver as well as a pitchover.

[@GhostHostMemories]

@@kevind814 look at the roll video by everyday astronaut. Explains why you can't just move the rocket on the ground. And to get to space you just got to go straight up to the Karmin (spelling) line maybe 100 miles?. To stay in space you gotta go up a good bit but then go sideways really fast. About 17000 mph. Because its not 0g, its continuous freefall. You need to be going g fast enough "forward' so that when you fall down the earth the earth curved away again.

[@alt8791]

Extra fun facts about the SRBs: At the top, surrounded by solid fuel, is a carbon composite structure shaped like an asterisk (*). This structure burns with the solid propellant, and it makes the propellant around it burn a little faster. However, it burns up entirely in about thirty seconds, and the burn rate slows back down to normal after that. This creates the effect of throttling down the boosters by reducing the amount of thrust they create. The composite structure is sized perfectly so it burns up completely right at max-q. I like this idea because it's a clever way to reduce the thrust when they need to without anything too crazy. Another cool fact is that they were going to make different, lighter, newer boosters for flights out of Vandenberg, but those were cancelled after the _Challenger_ disaster, which was one of the many nails in the coffin of the Shuttle-Vandenberg idea.

This is a really nice video. Thanks. While I am a space enthusiast, I am not actually a Space Shuttle fan. I think Obama was right in shutting the program down and Nixon was wrong for being so quick to dump all that we learned about rockets in the Apollo program overboard in favor of the Space Shuttle. The reasons for this are: 1. We found during Apollo the most efficient way to get into orbit is essentially with a two staged rocket. This is you have a first stage that comprises ~70% of the total starting mass of the rocket use up its entire propellant load and then you have a fully fueled second stage do a second burn to more or less achieve orbital velocity. While you may point out the Saturn V rocket was a 3 stage rocket (and another great thing to make a video of), the third stage was primarily used for the Lunar injection burn; the first two stages were used primarily to first get above the atmosphere and get the initial velocity with the first stage and then for the second stage to get up to orbital speed. As so little mass can make it into orbit, this staging was very important to chuck empty structural and unneeded engine mass overboard as soon as safely possible (staging inside the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds is a terrible idea) and then continue on up to orbital speed starting with a fresh rocket that only has what it needs for the next leg of the journey as any extra cuts into the payload mass you can get into orbit and if too heavy and inefficient, quickly leads to a sub-orbital rocket. Getting back to the Saturn V, it got ~ 2.5% of its starting mass into orbit as payload when say used for the Skylab mission where it was used as a two stage rocket using 1960's rocket technology. The Space Shuttle on the other hand throw all of this knowledge gained out the window and went for a 1.5 stage to orbit design. Even using 1970's rocket technology, which one would think would be better than 1960's rocket technology, it could only get ~1.6% of its starting mass into orbit as payload. At this it had to strip all of the safety systems out and use an inherently unsafe design to do this. The biggest reason for this drop in efficiency to orbit, meaning you needed a much bigger and more expensive rocket to do the same job, is the 1.5 stage to orbit design meant by the time the rocket boosters dropped away, the stage that made it to orbit was unreasonably heavy with a lot of empty tank mass as the tanks that made it to orbital speed (or just below I should say) drained down quite a bit by the time the rocket boosters dropped away; you were not starting with a fresh rocket at all. So then all of that empty tank mass at stage separation was a lot less payload you could haul up to orbital speed. 2. The rocket boosters were heavy, inefficient, and inherently unsafe. You can say yeah, those solid rocket boosters produced a lot of thrust. Great. However the ISP was low for orbital class rocket standards, meaning the boosters ran out of propellant early on in the flight, leaving a lot more work for the SSME's to do and even more propellant in the central tank being used to make it up to orbital speed instead of pushing payload around. Then as the boosters were big, simple pressure vessels that had to hold back the full chamber pressure the whole length of the boosters, they were very heavy as in lots of dead weight. This meant the boosters were even less efficient than a liquid fueled booster that used a turbo-pump as the turbo-pumps pressurize the propellant so the rocket stage tanks can be made lighter as they don't have to hold back a tonne of pressure. This can be helped some with carbon fiber composite materials, but this is not what the boosters use nor will they ever, including on the SLS, another boondoggle based on the same failed tech as the Space Shuttle. Then as you kind of touched on, the rocket boosters are not really safe because once lit, they are lit and there is no stopping them for anything. Actually the Russians never used solid rocket boosters because it didn't meet Russian safety standards when Russia is not exactly known for having the highest safety standards. 3. Having the orbiter strapped to the side of the main tank instead of being on top is just crazy, especially when you remove the outer cover to the foam insulation in order to make the rocket lighter. I mean riding on top of a rocket is inherently just safer. Everywhere you look at the Space Shuttle design, it is inherently unsafe to the max and they can't add any safety systems because the added weight would just mean it was a sub-orbital rocket because the inherent inefficiency of the 1.5 stage to orbit design meant that it was a real push just to make orbit at all. So you add anything safety wise and it is extra mass and thus this thing doesn't make orbit. 4. The whole winged orbiter design while looking cool on the surface, well wings are not needed in space. It is just dead weight you hauled up to orbital speed, which is tremendously fast for chemical propulsion to do and thus why it is so hard to make orbit. I mean going several miles a second every second is just mind blowingly fast and just on the edge of what chemical propulsion can achieve, the only method we have used to achieve orbit to date. So the Apollo program proved you didn't need wings to make it back to Earth safely, just a heat shield on the bottom of a tear drop shaped capsule. Great, we have a way to get something back and don't need big, heavy wings, and we can just barely make orbit at all, so why would you add wings? It just doesn't actually make any sense. If you are so bent on having reusable SSME's, make them detachable and stuff them into a cargo hold in your space capsule. So the cargo hold holds cargo on the way up and engines on the way done. Job done. Now we have the Falcon 9 rocket and Crewed Dragon that has a partially reusable design that makes some sort of sense. Recover that first stage, which is ~70% of the total rocket and have a crewed capsule riding on top of the rocket with a launch abort system built in the astronauts ride in. Orders of magnitude cheaper than the Space Shuttle. And now we are looking at Starship, which is looking to recover both stages if they can, potentially making it super cheap to launch over and over again.

[@Elios0000]

you left out the "twang" when the SSME's light. and its part of why there is a delay from main engine light to SRB ignition. when the SSME's light there off center thrust causes the WHOLE stack lean forward and then settle back to vertical.

[@waynesimpson2074]

You beat me to it. At 11.00 the bend back should have been shown, one of the biggest character traits of a Shuttle launch.IMHO

[@u1zha]

Yeah it settles back but not to the same vertical in which it originally was. As the SSMEs keep running they apply torque, so the new equilibrium in which the stack attempts to settle is angled a bit forward anyway.

I'm gonna be that pedantic nerd for this evening that points out that while "fuel" is a correct term for the hydrogen, the oxygen is not fuel but "oxidizer" and the correct term for the combination of the two is "propellant." The SRBs propellant also has both fuel and oxidizer mixed together in the slurry that is formed into the propellant inside the big tube segments, but in that solid form they are very stable and won't ignite unless a lot of energy is introduced But great video all around :D I just felt like nerding out a bit

I've just found your channel, the animations are great, really clear and not overly complicated.

One thing to mention is that after a number of missions there was damage found on the window due to a tiny piece of debris which meant that all non-ISS shuttle missions were flown with the engines leading to reduce the risk of damage. Great work.

also, I'm not sure if I want him to make a Titanic video because i'm not sure if he will include conspiracy theories in it. There's this very popular theory about how a fire weakened Titanic so that the iceberg caused more damaged. That's fake news. There was a fire on Titanic, but it didn't cause any serious damage or weakening at all. Or there was was a small dent that wouldn't have effected the damage from the iceberg much. Many youtube channels and newsites have fallen for this conspiracy theory, so I don't want Jared to fall for it too.
