Metal Print : Space Shuttle aerodynamics
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Space Shuttle aerodynamics
Space Shuttle pressure map. Coloured computer- generated map of static aerodynamic pressure over a Space Shuttle in supersonic flight at launch. The Shuttle is seen attached to its external tank and two booster rockets that propel it into orbit. A blue grid of part of the Shuttle is visible. Static pressure is colour-coded: red (maximum), through yellow, to green (minimum). Highest pressure is seen on the nose cone of the external tank, booster rockets, and the nose and windscreen of the Shuttle. Other regions of high pressure are the leading edge of the Shuttle wing and around its tail. A pressure map for subsonic Shuttle flight on re-entry would appear quite different

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate aerodynamics of a Space Shuttle during supersonic flight at launch. The computer-generated map depicts the static aerodynamic pressure over the Shuttle, its external tank, and two booster rockets that propel it into orbit. A mesmerizing blue grid outlines part of the Shuttle, while varying colors indicate different pressure levels. The highest pressure is vividly displayed on the nose cone of the external tank, booster rockets, as well as on the nose and windscreen of the Shuttle itself. The image not only highlights the engineering marvel behind this incredible spacecraft but also emphasizes how crucial aerodynamics are in space exploration. By utilizing advanced computer modeling techniques, scientists and researchers can analyze these pressure maps to optimize shuttle design for efficient flight through Earth's atmosphere. It is fascinating to note that a pressure map for subsonic re-entry would appear vastly different from this one due to changing conditions during descent. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of understanding and conquering outer space. With its blend of technology, research, transportation, and aviation aesthetics captured in one frame, this print from Science Photo Library perfectly encapsulates humanity's quest for knowledge beyond our planet's boundaries.
