Rockets Module 41 Rockets Module Four Saturn V
3
Rockets Module 42 Objective To understand more about the conquest of space… the final frontier –Discoveries and inventions –Pioneers, engineers, and astronauts –Events that alter and illuminate our time
4
Rockets Module 43 Early Discoveries Greek named Hero demonstrated the rocket engine principle of “Action/Reaction” 1 st Century AD steam reaction motor Generates ‘thrust’ – the force that moves the rocket
5
Rockets Module 44 Newton’s Three Laws of Motion Sir 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 Reaction Action
6
Rockets Module 45 Chinese Invent Gunpowder First ‘solid fuel’ 1200 AD
7
Rockets Module 46 Gun Powder Granular (powder) mixture of: 15% charcoal, fuel to burn—carbon (C) 75% saltpeter (KNO 3 potassium nitrate) oxygen 10% Sulfur (S), also a fuel –lowers ignition temperature to –increase speed of combustion (burning) Charcoal color is why it is often called “black Powder” Roger Bacon (England) improved formula
8
Rockets Module 47 Advances In Solid Fuel Rockets Jean Froissart (1337-1405) achieves higher accuracy launching through tubes (bazooka) William Congreve (1670-1729) improved military use William Hale (1797-1870) devised spin stabilized rockets Solid fuel stored Combustion Chamber Exhaust nozzle
9
Rockets Module 48 Father of Modern Astronautics Konstantin Tsiolkovsky Russian (1857-1935) Deaf at age 13—Self taught Scientific study of space exploration Recognized liquid fuel has more energy
10
Rockets Module 49 Popularizing Space Travel Herman Oberth (1923) –Wrote about space travel in Germany –Helped creat first realistic science fiction movie

36
Rockets Module 435 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
37
Rockets Module 436 Initial Reusable Design - 1970 Expected to fly weekly – 52 flights/year High Development costs required a more conservative design
38
Rockets Module 437 The Compromise Solid Fuel Boosters Expendable tank Four flight vehicles No ‘escape system’.
39
Rockets Module 438 First Flight - 1981 Use of Solid Fuel limits safety factor at launch Can’t shut down solids once ignited
40
Rockets Module 439 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
