Space Forum / Shuttle / June 2008flame trench
So have any pictures of the damage made it on line as yet? Not that these are much good tome, but I did wonder about the orientation of the stack as respect to the damage in, and the fence etc caused by debris. I was wondering if anything could have hit the vertical stabiliser and whether anyone had check for this problem.

From someone obviously not using a newsreader that properly formats posts, it's obvious you're just trolling. Probably one of the usual smegma-breathed rejects that harass the regulars around here to compensate for the embarassment of having been willingly molested by at least three of your elder male relatives - two of which are still coming over on weekends for that same purpose - and having not had the intelligence to at least charge them a supply of candy for your services. >*spank!* ...More like >PLONK<.

However, the damage is on the north side of the flame trench, while Discovery's vertical stabilizer pointed south while on the launch pad. Flying debris would have needed to fly through the ET and SRBs (or some really creative ricocheting against the blast of the SRBs) in order to do damage to Discovery. Brian Ah, right, this is a bit strange, seeing as the smes are pointed the other way really. I often wonder if all that water just seeps into the ground through the bricks after launch.

No. It goes into holding tanks where it's treated to neutralize the pH and discharged to the seepage area between the tanks. > wondering if anything could have hit the vertical stabiliser and whether > anyone had check for this problem. The shuttle stack is fairly high up. First, the mobile launch platform is quite a bit higher than the flame trench. (Remember that their needs to be enough space for the mobile transporter to fit between the launch platform and the ground around the trench. Secondly, the shuttle stack is on 2 feet: the SRBs. Only the SRBs touch the launch platform deck. The tank and shuttle are attached to the SRBs in such a way that their bottom portion is off the ground. >> wondering if anything could have hit the vertical stabiliser and whether >> anyone had check for this problem.

Thirdly, the flame trench in question faces toward the "belly" of the orbiter (tank/SRB side). Any debris would have hit the SRBs or ET... |
