Just to add -- it was Von Braun who came up with the idea of using regenerative loop cooling to help engines survive the tremendous heat. Only at that point, it was for the V-2. There are museums where you can see a V-2 engine and a J-2 engine (Saturn V upper stage engine) next to each other; the V-2 engine looks primitive and puny, but you can clearly see the same basic concepts at work, including the regenerative loop cooling.

As you've stated, the heating comes from compressive shock heating in the hypersonic bow-wave.
@justforever96

@@furman761 They are talking about two different things. The Orbiter decelerates by entering belly first, or at a high angle of attack, so it is very blunt as far as that goes. The question is why the blunt nose in particular, which comes a little later, after it has slowed down some but is still traveling at hypersonic speeds. With a pointy nose, the shock wave off the nose would impinge on the wings and heat them up (among other problems), the blunt nose keeps the shock waves away from the wings. But it has nothing to do with slowing it down, there is plenty of aerodynamic resistance to do that already. Your explanation has more to do with why a capsule enters wide base first.

Nope, Liquid Hydrogen and Liquid Oxygen powers the RS-25. This is why the exhaust is so clear, because there is no soot and the only bi-product is water. Hydrazine engines are hypergolic and an example of what that would look like is the Proton-M rocket which the exhaust is yellow/orange and there is a yellow exhaust from the dumped pre-burner exhaust. The Hover test of SpaceX's Crew Dragon Capsule also uses hypergolic engines.

Well no as it would cause the shuttle to be too heavy. The amount of weight needed to lift the shuttle into space is barely light enough to make it fordable to be effective. Even then the shuttle problem ended as it was still rather costly even in the end of being cost effective compared to the Apollo Program. So now even with huge budget cuts do to idiot government. NASA is trying hard to create a new shuttle that is effective and hoping to return to the moon. Yet those plans all been dashed slightly do to a certain president that is so narrow minded commie.

@Dilongparadoxus
10 жыл бұрын
nunchuckerz Orbital velocity is around 7 km/s. carting around enough fuel to slow down the space shuttle to where it doesn't need thermal protection is ridiculous, so we get around it by making heat shields and blunt designs to redirect and absorb the heat. Also, it's way more expensive to launch a rocket (especially a heavy lift one that could be carrying a paying customer's payload) full of coolant than it is to slap some thermal protection on the bottom of a shuttle.
@nunchuckerz
10 жыл бұрын
but thermal protection isnt always reliable and has cost lives, they could just load the shuttle with the coolant before re-entry
@Dilongparadoxus
10 жыл бұрын
nunchuckerz the issue is that to carry more weight into space you need more fuel. And a bigger rocket is more expensive than a smaller one, as is sending many rockets. This is a physical limitation, defined by the rocket equation, not just something we haven't thought of. The shuttle would also be heavier on reentry, which might make the heat even worse, but I'm not entirely sure if those two things correlate. And the shuttle is the only craft that has lost lives on reentry because of its thermal protection, and that was partly because of nasa policy.

Yep. This myth about it being friction is still so often repeated, sadly. If it were friction, heating would occur where air is moving fastest over the hull, not where it is moving slowest and re-entry vehicles would have pointy noses and sharp leading edges. As you've stated, the heating comes from compressive shock heating in the hypersonic bow-wave.

@@furman761 They are talking about two different things. The Orbiter decelerates by entering belly first, or at a high angle of attack, so it is very blunt as far as that goes. The question is why the blunt nose in particular, which comes a little later, after it has slowed down some but is still traveling at hypersonic speeds. With a pointy nose, the shock wave off the nose would impinge on the wings and heat them up (among other problems), the blunt nose keeps the shock waves away from the wings. But it has nothing to do with slowing it down, there is plenty of aerodynamic resistance to do that already. Your explanation has more to do with why a capsule enters wide base first.
I agree. The Top Gear method of hypothesis proving translates over really well.

Cannonballs were round because that was the only shape that would easily fit into a cannon and also fly in a generally straight line. It is perfectly symmetrical so it doesn't matter if it is tumbling. Any other shape will be thrown off course when it tumbles.

The SRB's were developed and built by Orbital ATK who are now Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems. The Atlas V rocket has Soviet and Russian made engines which is the RD-180 which still are built by Russia. The new Vulcan Rocket being built by ULA uses American made (by Blue Origin) BE-4 engines.

That's like saying you have choice of either siding with us or North Korea. He's obviously gonna pick the US but he probably would have wanted the Germans to get there first. He was, after all, first and foremost a German. Regardless, my point was that we could never have done it without the research that the Nazis did and the German rocket scientists who we employed after WWII.

Nope, Liquid Hydrogen and Liquid Oxygen powers the RS-25. This is why the exhaust is so clear, because there is no soot and the only bi-product is water. Hydrazine engines are hypergolic and an example of what that would look like is the Proton-M rocket which the exhaust is yellow/orange and there is a yellow exhaust from the dumped pre-burner exhaust. The Hover test of SpaceX's Crew Dragon Capsule also uses hypergolic engines.

@Qardo

Well no as it would cause the shuttle to be too heavy. The amount of weight needed to lift the shuttle into space is barely light enough to make it fordable to be effective. Even then the shuttle problem ended as it was still rather costly even in the end of being cost effective compared to the Apollo Program. So now even with huge budget cuts do to idiot government. NASA is trying hard to create a new shuttle that is effective and hoping to return to the moon. Yet those plans all been dashed slightly do to a certain president that is so narrow minded commie.

@Dilongparadoxus

nunchuckerz Orbital velocity is around 7 km/s. carting around enough fuel to slow down the space shuttle to where it doesn't need thermal protection is ridiculous, so we get around it by making heat shields and blunt designs to redirect and absorb the heat. Also, it's way more expensive to launch a rocket (especially a heavy lift one that could be carrying a paying customer's payload) full of coolant than it is to slap some thermal protection on the bottom of a shuttle.
@nunchuckerz

but thermal protection isnt always reliable and has cost lives, they could just load the shuttle with the coolant before re-entry
@Dilongparadoxus

nunchuckerz the issue is that to carry more weight into space you need more fuel. And a bigger rocket is more expensive than a smaller one, as is sending many rockets. This is a physical limitation, defined by the rocket equation, not just something we haven't thought of. The shuttle would also be heavier on reentry, which might make the heat even worse, but I'm not entirely sure if those two things correlate. And the shuttle is the only craft that has lost lives on reentry because of its thermal protection, and that was partly because of nasa policy.
it is a good and informative show...just a little condescending in the presentation as Hammond appears to be talking to 10year old children when he turns to the camera.....

It was actually very much cheaper compared to building a new craft.
