Project DescriptionThe NASA Space Shuttle Program (Space Transportation System) was a U.S. government manned launch vehicle program from 1983 to 2011, with the program officially having started in 1972. The Space ShuttleOrbiter is the only winged space shuttle to orbit and land, and the only reusable orbiter that has ever made multiple flights to orbit, in fact 130 times. The Space Shuttle was designed to fulfill two fundamental roles in human flight simulations:1. The first goal of the Space Shuttle program was to provide NASA with an efficient, reusable method of getting astronauts to and from a geosynchronous space station. The space station was to play a central role in scientific research and development.2. The second goal of the Space Shuttle program was to reduce costs; feasibility and sustainability were essential objectives for the success of the project (history would prove otherwise). Additionally, its aim was to function as a multi-purpose vehicle, with the possibility of attaching a satellite to it. Roles and Disciplines - Engineering Industry (i) Engineering Disciplines in the NASA Space Shuttle Program Mechanical Engineering: Mechanical engineers are found within the faculty. of engineering in the Space department. These engineers create, design and build mechanical systems that integrate together to provide benefits to the overall development of the program. One of the most common roles associated with a mechanical engineer is the design and construction of system modules, including heating and cooling, refrigeration and ventilation systems, for a more comfortable environment in the aircraft. .Aeronautical engineering: Aeronautical engineering is divided into two categories: Aeronautics...... middle of paper ......re fascinating new research questions specific to these industries. The main component of this engineering project, the first inhabited space orbital shuttle ever built, was a tremendous achievement that had a tremendous impact on a global level. The technology was iterated and new components were modified, causing an evolution of the technological characteristics used in the construction of the orbiter. These technological impacts are used today, constantly evolving from the foundation on which they were built. The impacts were also at the environmental level. The use of less expensive and more environmentally friendly equipment has made everyone think about the environment and the efforts needed to build on its sustainability. Intergenerational equity was one of the main topics of discussion raised by the project, shedding positive light on this very important theme..
