Actually, that is completely wrong.
In orbit the STS uses what is called an Orbital manoeuvring system (OMS) to alter it's orbit, boost it into a higher trajectory, and to initiate a De-Orbit burn.
Interestingly enough, the manoeuvre would simply require a 5 minute full burn to boost its speed to a level where it's apogee would extend out.

I doubt you recall this, but there was a shuttle mission (127) recently which acted to boost the ISS into a slightly higher orbit using the OMS.

There were a number of technical flaws in the series but most of them are forgiveable since it is used as a dramatise motive.

For instance, if the Capsule was off course, it would have been noticed by telemetry within 2 seconds of it's drift from it's trajectory.

Second, When using thermal tiles, thermal expansion is quite meaningless since it cannot retain heat well enough to expand. You can go ahead and get a shuttle tile (Which are available in limited supply online and comes with a statement of authenticity) then set a fire (Or low burning torch) to it and observe the reaction.

No, What is interesting, is Naoko Yamazaki (Who is currently up in STS-131) having a cameo role in episode 7.

Also, just as a side note.... If they simply used the canadaarm, they wouldn't need to strap the spacecraft to the cargo bay.

Just saying.

OMS = 2 smaller rockets in the back.

please try and not try and counter me before you know what it means 1st.

And i know all about the stations OMS too. thins is what i was trying to convey.



Also rewatch the series. they thought they had the right telemetry before they rocketed off the Atlantis. It wasn't until just after they left when it was realized they had the wrong numbers. The alarm wouldn't have gone off due to them having the wrong numbers in the 1st place. It was right on course for the path they had punched in.

Also going into the atmosphere from that height, it wasn't the tiles they were worried about, but the enormous stress that would be put on the capsule. the stresses would cause it to start coming apart and then start burning up. But thanks to a contingency plan that had been created for the Apollo era they could do a skip trajectory and make it back. them landing back in their school's front fountain was for comedy.

Episode 12 had a BIG mistake in it.

The part where the Space Shuttle Atlantis fired it's rockets was ALL WRONG!!!! the space shuttle uses all it's liquid propellant for it's 3 main rockets during take off. If it has to speed up in orbit it uses is two smaller rocket in the back.

Does any one know where the books can be downloaded? Doesn't need to be translated, I can always run it through babelfish, google translate or windows live translate, but if it is in Japanese, not romji, they don't handle it to wheal

Lolipower has moved the series to DDL#2 now. I guess because it's finished.

That was a surprisingly good series. Now I'm sad there were only twelve of them.
