- Abstract
The separation research of the Orbiter/External Tank! or Orbiter/Carrier in the United States is described. in this paper. The analytical model of separation is presented for the parallel Space Shuttle system with the perpendicular launch. Meanwhile, the important problems of the safe separation are presented. The separation of the parallel Space shuttle system is a key technique in the future space technical fields. Our capability of resolving separation is described and the method of resolving separation is provided in this paper., Trans. of Kongqidonglixue Xuebao (China), v8 n2 p174-180, 1990.
