📼Video Summary:
There is a long process to getting the Space Shuttle ready to launch! If it lands Vandenburg Air Force Base in California then it will need to be flown across the United States to Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This is done on the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA). All 135 Space Shuttle Launches happened from Florida. There are two launch pads - 39a and 39b. First the space shuttle is taken to the Orbital Processing Facility (OPF) where maintenance takes place. When there's a Rollover to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) which is the Orbiter is lifted up and bolted to the Solid Rocket Boosters (SRB) and External Tank. The Shuttle is on top of the Mobile Launch Platform (MLP) and is then moved by the Crawler Transporter (CT) to one of the two launch pads. The launch pad is made of the Fixed Service Structure (FSS) and Rotating Service Structure (RSS). Other parts of the launch pad include the Orbiter Access Arm (OAA), Gaseous Hydrogen and Oxygen Vent Arms, Tail Service Masts (TSM), Sound Suppression System, and the Flame Trench. The launch involved Lift Off, Roll Program, Max-Q, and Main Engine Cut Off (MECO).

Despite being "as tall as a 38-story building", the VAB is technically a 1-story building. It holds the world record for being the tallest building with only one floor.
interesting
Hmmmm
Impressive
I never thought of that…
Not technically, it is.
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.
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.
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.)
I went to Space Academy in Huntsville as well, years ago. Loved it and it gave me a continuing passion for space exploration!
I'm an aerospace engineer, with several spacecraft designs and flight missions under my belt in ca 20 years of career. So I can tell you this: man, you good. Loved the Apollo series, but with the Shuttle you're hitting a new level!

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.
Yup! I was trying keep things simple for that part but yes - the math does get very complex
@@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. :)
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?
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.
@@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.
Jared, I just wanted you to know that my 4-year-old son LOVES your videos. He is such a curious kid who is always asking about how things work, so I was thrilled when I found your videos because they contained simple, yet thorough explanations. He walks around and tells me about all of the things that “Jared has taught him”, and when he explains the same things to strangers he meets in public, they look at him in shock because they can’t believe a 4-year-old would know so much about these subjects. 😅 I’m thinking about taking him to Seattle one day so we can visit the Space Needle. I know he would be thrilled to be inside, but I can already hear him warning me, “Remember, Mom, only the floor is spinning. So if you put your belongings on the side, you’ll slowly spin away from them.” 😂
Thanks Jessie - your comment made me smile tonight! Please tell your son that "Jared says hi"
There should be a petition for him to explain how the falcon 9 works

This guy actually deserves a lot of respect and more subs than he has right now. Watching his videos is much better than wasting our time on social media, etc. This truly has helped enhance my knowledge.
A moment of silence to appreciate him...
By human standards, the shuttle is clearly the work of superior civilisation.
That aside, these computer animations are first rate and make everything so easy to digest.
This is what I call high quality, independent content creation.
Subbed.
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.
Anybody could have thought of that, it's not rocket science, oh wait
@@NHAFFFF Pls Subscribe me friend, I also make space & Science related videos.
Since you “can’t” throttle SRBs, shaping the fuel like that is a common method for pre-programming the thrust curve :)

I just recently visited the Space & Rocket Center in Alabama for the second time with my family ... (a surprise trip for my almost 80-year-old father, who was seeing it for the first time.) ... and after watching your videos, I have a clearer understanding of things.

Growing up in the 1970s and 1980s, the Space Shuttle always fascinated me. I’m constantly amazed by the achievements that culminated to this system.
Thank you very very much for making this brilliant video. It explains the Shuttle a lot more than I knew. What a lot of work you must’ve poured into it, it’s just amazing!
the solid fuel of the SRBs is actually shapped like a star inside ( basically there is a star shaped hole in the middle of the propellant over the length of the whole booster). this increases the area that can be burned when the SRBs ignite so they can produce excessive thrust. the engineering behind it is incredible and they never failed ( at least with the shuttle). you can imagine it like a controlled explosion, you ride a bomb that detonates over 2 minutes 8 seconds. a big bomb, just look at the exhaust, its hard to notice the beautiful SR-25s with their nice blue diamond (:
edit: another fun fact crossed my mind. one of the top segments of the booster ( i cant recall which one, though ( left or right)) of sts-135 was the same as in sts-1. they build this stuff to be reused - and in fact it was. as i said, incredible stuff (:
I truly, genuinely, cannot imagine a single reason why anybody would dislike this video. Great animation quality, very informative, very simple explanation of a compiles matter... 11/10, Jared.

I worked on the Shuttle for 11 years. This video is great. The only correction I would make is OPF 1and 2 face the other way. All three allows the OV to roll on the “tow way” to the North entrance to the VAB. Neither OPF 1 or 2 had doors on the south side until Shuttle ended.
Ahhh good to know. Thanks David and I'm glad you liked the video

The emergency egress system looks fun, I want to ride on it.
they took it down but yes - it would have been fun to ride!
I watched this whole (fantastic!) video about all this incredible technology and I'm somehow fixated on the escape plan being a zip line with baskets attached. 😂
Wait till you hear about the new Boeing emergency Escape system. It’s a zipline
Yeah 😂 I don’t like ziplines but if im in a basket its fine lol
When I toured the Space & Rocket Center in Hunstville, AL, there was an IMAX movie about the Space Shuttle (mid 90s). The movie took you on a ride of the emergency egress zipline - it was mindblowing. Just watching the first-person perspective, I could feel myself leaning into the momentum, and then suddenly recoiling when we hit the net at the bottom. Amazing.
Great informative video! The Space Shuttle was an incredibly complex system that achieved enormous success.....but also an enormous cost in human lives. All those who ever flew in the Shuttle Program were heroes who served to advance our understanding of Space Flight.
Between STS-5 and STS-51L you saw astronauts not wear pressure suits during launch and reentry. You saw astronauts wear blue flight coveralls and when they reached the pad, they put on their egress harnesses, which had an inflatable life vest and a skygenie device to allow astronauts to repel out the top of the orbiter and a clamshell designed helmet that is like a motorcycle helmet. How you put on that helmet and took it off is that you put on a cloth cap to ensure that your hair didn't get caught by the hooks (as some of the astronauts that flew doing this time were women) and then you inserted your head into the helmet from the rear and locked the helmet into place. This practice was promptly stopped after the Challenger disaster and NASA went back to pressure suits for launch and reentry.

How a fighter aircraft works?
How a submarine works?
How a destroyer works?
How a nuclear reactor works?

I have followed the US space programme from afar since the last of the Apollo missions. I am an 'old school' engineer and I understand a lot about the shuttle and - in a way - I looked at this tube to see how bad it was. The best compliment I can give is to say I wasn't going to give one. This is an excellent beginner level introduction to the space shuttle programme supported by wonderful visuals that really help tell the story in a very accessible way. Instant like. This really is "must see TV" for anyone taking those first steps into what can be quite daunting subject matter. Excellent work. Very impressed. Subscribed.
Thank you so much for this video, Jared.
I've always been at awe when watching the space shuttles launch, and I am very fortunate to watch them launch, wheneverI could, during my lifetime.
One particular moment was when I watched the fateful launch of the Challenger space shuttle on January 28, 1986 live when I was a kid.
Your video brought a very insightful how-to wrap-up to a very somber remembrance.
Awesome job on this video! Kudos to astronaut Mike Mullane for his contribution. 👍

Great video. Very informative. I just finished watching a documentary on Challenger failure and that’s what inspired me to find out how a spacecraft is launched.
The Shuttle's been retired for many years and now I finally know how it all went down. Thanks for an excellent video.
I think one of the biggest videos you are missing is "How does an engine work?", Where you break down an engine, such as a V8 hemi, but also include examples from other I style motors.
Btw Jared it completely baffles me how you have the time and patients to do this amount of extensive research, but not only that but to ANIMATE it. Bravo.

THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL VIDEO. Thank you for the time and effort it took to produce it. NASA couldn’t have done it better. This will be an educational tool for decades.
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.
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
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.
Yess please. This is honestly one of the crazinest parts of this machine

I can't explain how genuinely I await for your next video. I'm very big FAN of yours Jared.
My best wishes for your every project.

I remember the challenger disaster
@@cintianevesgodoi1191 so, you like disaster ?!
This happened multiple times.
Fantastic. Loved the presentation which was to the point and very well animated.
Great job
One of the best detailed video ever seen...Cleared a lot of things about the launch..Keep the Good Work
Oh hell yes, been waiting for this!!
😁
I have been always wondering how rockets and space shuttles are mounted on the launching pad. I am so impressed by those eight bolts
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.
beautyful such good work. your work will be part of my retiremant. very emotional. the triumps and the sorrow. powerful experince
This guy cares so much about his viewers he puts the sponsorship after the video and not inbetween, keep up the quality animations and deep explanations C:
These animations make you feel that ur really going to space
I can't even describe how amazing this videos are, so informative, so complete, it's like a drug, I need more of these!!!
Im glad you showed the subtle detail of srbs having a hollow core. Im in my 4th year of getting an aerospace engineering degree and we just made some solid rocket tubes. I never knew that they were hollow before hand. For more interesting info, you should look up how propellant grain (the shape of the hollow part) affects engine performance.
Had high expectations... The video did not disappoint.
I have to commend the amount of research it would have taken to make the video so detailed, the amazing skill to make the information comprehensive through animation and the work it would have taken to get things right and accurate.
Thank you for your hardwork.
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'm ok.
Your work is so fantastic. Your dedication is great which can be seen in these videos. Only relevant and useful information without any exaggeration of facts.. Hat's off..
Thank you Sachin!
You wilo
thank you so much for all the information you have given me throughout your time on youtube.
Woah thank you so much! I don't think there's a better video out there in the world that explains this better than what you've done. Thank you for your attention to detail with the 8 bolts and the VAB doors among many other things 👏👏👏👏👏
I remember watching the last space shuttle launch when I was 6 years old. Mind you it was 2011. I have a sense of nostalgia for the space shuttle.
you look familiar
Why they don't Launch now ?

This video was great to watch nice n easy n not alot of tech talk. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!
Growing up watching the space shuttle was in my opinion the coolest thing ever. Thank you Jared for showing me this!
Thank you for watching!

Funfact! I know one of the people that worked on the plane that carried the shuttle. He is australian, an engineer, and an airplane expert. I'm polish, but i'm bilingual. He's pretty old, and i don't want to reveal his name. He worked with many others to think/make an engine that could carry the shuttle. I don't know much about that process, but i know him. He's the boyfriend of a female friend of... my mother.
So, yeah..
Sorry if this was annoying, obnoxious, or just very bragging-ish.
Thanks for reading, buhbye.
That was actually very interesting.
didnt expect to find a Polish guy in here :)

really appreciate for you to make this video . one of the best explanation videos about space shuttle I've ever watched !
thank you so much for wonderful video.. and thank you for your dedication to explain the complex thing in simple way
The best explanation I've ever seen of the Spaceshuttle and his components.
one of the best videos produced these days.
Thank you!! I stumbled across your channel a couple days ago and have been addicted to your content and great animation, thank you for your great work
This is superbly well done and explained. Not complicated, very understandable. Kudos
