Homework 1 (cont’d) • The 2 SRB’s each burn for approximately 123 seconds and produce 2,650,000 lbf thrust at sea level
• The 3 SSME engines each burn for ~509.5 seconds and each produces 454,000 lbf thrust at sea level
• Each of the SSME’s consume 1040 lbm/sec of propellant
6) Calculate the average specific impulses of the SRB’s, the SSME’s, and the Effective specific impulse of the Shuttle Launch System as a whole during the First 123 seconds of flight (ignore altitude effects)

• Compare to mission Delta V requirement of approximately 7854.2 m/sec ~ dang close shave .. Actual shuttle has slightly Greater margins
• … shuttle engines throttle back at max Qbar (for dynamic loads) and the actual burn time is a bit longer … actual burn time is Around 522-525 seconds …and Isp increases with altitude
