This is a view of
#NASA’s
#SpaceShuttle #Atlantis’ aft section on display in the
#AtlantisMuseum,
#KSCVC.
#Florida with
#OMS pods and 3 replica
#SSMEs installed.
The three Space Shuttle Main
#Engines burned liquid hydrogen
#LH2 and liquid oxygen
#LOX stored in the External Tank to push the
#Shuttle into
#orbit.
The OMS helped the
#Orbiter enter its final, intended orbit and carry out its mission.
OMS and the
#RCS were both fueled by toxic, but
#storable #hypergolic propellants (
#MMH and
#N204). These components had to be
#decontaminated before displaying them.
