  What are space vehicles? An Inside Look at the Space Shuttle Hello readers, Pradhuman Here In this blog, we will take a close look at the interior of the space shuttle, examining its crew compartment, payload bay, and rear engines.  Introduction The space shuttle was a spacecraft used by NASA for 30 years and completed 135 missions. Its last flight took place in 2011. The space shuttle consisted of three main components: the orbiter vehicle, the orange external tank, and the two white solid rocket boosters (SRBs). While the orbiter and SRBs were reusable, the external tank was not and had to be replaced for each mission. It's worth noting that many people refer to the entire assembly as the space shuttle, even though technically it is just a part of it. So, the terms orbiter vehicle and space shuttle are sometimes used interchangeably. A Typical Mission Let's take a look at a typical space shuttle mission. The shuttle would launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florid

  INDIAN SPACE STATION:MARVEL OF ISRO Unlocking the Potential of Indian Vehicles Greetings, everyone! Pradhuman here Today, I am thrilled to discuss the exciting advancements in the design of Indian space vehicles. As you may know, India has taken up the ambitious task of setting up an Indian Space Station by 2035, and ISRO has the responsibility of landing humans on the moon by 2040. But before we delve into these endeavors, let's address the crucial question of where we currently stand. Evaluating our Technological Capabilities In terms of technology, do our vehicles have the capabilities to fulfill these missions? Do our launch vehicles possess the power and efficiency required? Have we achieved engine clustering? Can our development and cryo engines make significant leaps? These are the questions we will explore in today's Blog. Within the designs presented here, we have the GSLV Mk-2, which we used in a test vehicle demonstration. It is equipped with the L40 booster s
