NASA training center in Houston | Terraoko - world through your eyes
Today we'll take a tour of the training center of the space center in Houston. Training space shuttle columbia center is located space shuttle columbia in the Space Center Lyndon B. Johnson. Center is a complex space shuttle columbia of 100 buildings on 656 acres of an area southeast of Houston. In the center are trained as U.S. astronauts and astronauts partner countries. Originally the center called "Centre of manned space flight" and was built in 1963. February 19, 1973 the center was renamed space shuttle columbia in honor of former U.S. president, a native of Texas, Lyndon Johnson.
1. This is the closed area within the center to get here you have to take a car-train ride available to everyone. space shuttle columbia Because it is a closed space shuttle columbia area, then the input you have photographed, and then who knows.
3. The first stop of the train - the training center, which collects various modules and part of space stations. For tourists on the third floor gallery is made, which can be viewed on training and exposure. Despite the tourists at the bottom are hard at work.
8. This multi-purpose, reusable module Italian-American production. The interior tight, space shuttle columbia volume of 70 cubic meters. meters. The module space shuttle columbia was designed for transportation of goods to and from the International Space Station. Today, this module is on the station permanently.
17. This modular "hand-crane grip." This arm was installed inside the cargo department space shuttle columbia in the shuttle, and today it still stands here as part of the shuttle. Soon it will be removed. Early in the layout of the shuttle was full, it was removed recently, as unnecessary.
23. Modern rover. He has participated in numerous expeditions and tests in Arizona. Lunokhod consists of a sealed-proof cabin, which can be attached to the main database (the large door on the side), the buffer booths space shuttle columbia spacewalk (two doors in the back), all independent suspension on the Lunokhod, the wheels can rotate 360 degrees on an individual basis, that Lunokhod allows maneuver space shuttle columbia among the obstacles it can move at a speed of 16 km / h, the autonomy of the Lunokhod - 14 days.
24. And this is actually very "base" for the rover - Space Station. The idea is that the station space shuttle columbia will be sent with two moon rovers, which are free to dock with the base parking on the sides. space shuttle columbia Inside the station living space with all the amenities. After trips to the moon the astronauts will return to base to refuel. That's all tested.
26. This Saturn 5 rocket. The largest, longest and most severe in the history of space exploration rocket, built in 1960-1970 years. The rocket was built to fly to the moon. Its length is 111 meters, weight - 2965 tons thrust rocket - 34500 kN, missile capacity - 142 tons to Earth orbit and 50 tons to the moon.
27. There were built 15 such missiles, it is one of the last two missiles, which were not ispolzovany. Smaller prototypes used to fly to Earth orbit, then two more missiles were launched projects Apollo 4 and 6, in 1967 and 1968. Both flights were unmanned, and conducted to test missiles.
28. The next flight was the Apollo 8, already space shuttle columbia with a team that flew to the moon, but did not sit down. Then there were some more flights, and in the end, Apollo space shuttle columbia 11 took the moon and back. Then there was a failure with the landing due to technical problems, but not with a missile, and the ship itself with Apollo. Last rocket flight of this type made in 1973, moving to Earth orbit Skylab.
29. The rocket consisted of three sections. The first section had engines F1, this engine worked just 2.5 minutes, but during that time he managed to pick up a missile at 66 km, and the velocity space shuttle columbia of the rocket when it reached 9700 km / h, the engine weight space shuttle columbia - 7100 kg.
