Rockets and the

Conquest of Space

Page 2: Rockets Module 41 Rockets and the Conquest of Space

Rockets Module 4 2

Objective

• To understand more about the conquest of space… the final frontier– Discoveries and inventions– Pioneers, engineers, and astronauts

Page 3: Rockets Module 41 Rockets and the Conquest of Space

Rockets Module 4 3

Early Discoveries

• Greek named Hero demonstrated rocket engine principle of “Action/Reaction”

• 1st Century AD steam reaction motor

• Generates ‘thrust’ – the force that moves the rocket

Page 4: Rockets Module 41 Rockets and the Conquest of Space

Rockets Module 4 4

Newton’s Three Laws of MotionSir Isaac Newton 1642-1727

• First Law - A body at rest tends to stay at rest; a body in motion tends to stay in motion

• Second Law – Force equals mass times acceleration

• Third Law - For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

Chinese Invent Gunpowder First ‘solid fuel’ 1200 AD

Page 6: Rockets Module 41 Rockets and the Conquest of Space

Rockets Module 4 6

Gun Powder

Granular mixture of:• 15% charcoal, fuel to burn—carbon (C) • 75% saltpeter (KNO3 potassium nitrate) oxygen • 10% Sulfur (S), also a fuel

– lowers ignition temperature to – increase speed of combustion (burning)

• Roger Bacon (England) improved formula

Advances In Solid Fuel Rockets• William Congreve improved military use• William Hale devises spin stabilized rockets• Jean Froissart achieves higher accuracy launching

through tubes (bazooka)

Father of Modern Astronautics

• Konstantin Tsiolkovsky Russian (1857-1935)

• Scientific study of space exploration

• Recognized liquid fuel has more energy

• Deaf at age 13—Self taught

Replacement for Saturn V

• Saturn V sent men to the moon 1968-72

• Launched Skylab Space Station 1973

• 250,000 lbs. To earth orbit

• Shuttle 65,000 pounds to earth orbit

Shuttle 4.4 million lbs. 6 million lbs. thrust

Saturn V 6.0 million lbs. 7.5 million lbs. thrust

Page 38: Rockets Module 41 Rockets and the Conquest of Space

Rockets Module 4 38

Initial Reusable Design - 1970

• Expected to fly weekly – 52 flights/year

• High Development costs required a more conservative design

Page 39: Rockets Module 41 Rockets and the Conquest of Space

Rockets Module 4 39

The Compromise• Solid Fuel Boosters• Expendable tank

• Four flight vehicles• No ‘escape system’.

Page 40: Rockets Module 41 Rockets and the Conquest of Space

Rockets Module 4 40

First Flight - 1981

• Use of Solid Fuel limits safety factor at launch

• Can’t shut down solids once ignited

Page 41: Rockets Module 41 Rockets and the Conquest of Space

Rockets Module 4 41

Final Costs• Flying only 8 Shuttles

per year• Each flight costs

$500,000,000 (Half a billion dollars)

• High cost caused by few flights divided by extensive maintenance and launch expenses

Questions Being Raised• High costs

• High risk

• Questionable manned spaceflight program objectives

Page 53: Rockets Module 41 Rockets and the Conquest of Space

Rockets Module 4 53

Consequences

• Discontinue Shuttle program 2010

• Develop a less costly, safer, re-usable spacecraft

• Crew Excursion Vehicle called Orion

• Rocket ARES 1
