Solid propellant chosen for space shuttle rocket
NASA announced the space shuttle booster will use solid-propellant motors with a recoverable booster and engines on both booster and orbiter stages firing at launch. California Lt Gov Reinecke said solid fuel strengthens the state’s case to host the program and noted Vandenberg as the only U.S. launch site with polar orbiting and solid-jet experience. NASA awarded a $500 million orbiter engine contract to Rocketdyne, while the orbiter will use three engines with liquid oxygen and hydrogen. A GAO probe follows a challenge to NASA’s engine choice. The booster will lift the vehicle then be recovered, while the orbiter carries crew and cargo to orbit and returns for landing.
