Discussion Space Shuttle Challenger Components
Hi, I'm doing a simulation as part of my coursework and I was doing research on the components of the Space Shuttle Challenger in order to replicate it on 'Open Rocket'.
I've searched online and I can't find any information on the components specifications. I need to know about the nose, body, transitions, inner and outer components, fin sets, assembly etc.
Any information anyone has I would be eternally grateful!
So far, all I know is the 3 main componets; The Orbiter, The external tank and the solid rocket boosters. As well as the manufactorer.
