The solid rocket boosters, the largest ever used on any launch vehicle. The first to be employed in a u. S. Manned flight. At liftoff, the solid rocket boosters together with the three main engines will unleash more than 6. 5 Million Pounds of thrust needed to launch the first reusable spacecraft. Never before has a winged vehicle been launched like a rocket, returning to earth through frictional heating in it sets of 5200 degrees. Still aerodynamically sound to be launched again and again and again. If it succeeds, the Space Shuttle will truly be a remarkable flying machine. There are many other goals to be reached during the 54. 5 our mission. Test objectives are planned. These could not be achieved without an astronaut crew. The commander, john young.

Astronaut flying today. Although robert has over 4000 hours of flying time, this will be his first time in space. The astronauts make their way across the access arm towards the shuttle in the predawn hours before launch. An american spaceship has never carried a human crew on its Maiden Voyage. At the Launch Control center three miles from the pad, final steps are being happening for before cap them. Theyre made in mission and control position, where the launch will clear the tower. There has not been a manned launch for Kennedy Space center since the apollo test launched in july of 1975. Aboard this launch, young and robert launched controllers at the tape and Flight Controllers in houston will experience the most dynamic space series launch ever undertaken in a space program. All in less than nine minutes. Profile challenging ever to be flown by a space vehicle.
