Manual or very detailed technical book required...

Good Evening all,

I'm doing my degree project on the Space Shuttle, i'm writing the code (make
believe code) to simulate certain systems aboard the space shuttle and how
they would react in certain circumstances, i.e. if a certain part of the
shuttle reaches a certain temperature, that sort of thing.

Well can anyone recommend a detailed manual for the space shuttle? something
a bit 'meaty' or more technical?

Hope someone can help

Regards

Dave

Start with Dennis Jenkin's "Space Shuttle" Then go through the Citations
section.

"Space Shuttle" itself is a great overview, but my guess is not quite
detailed enough for what you want.

Thanks Rusty,

It's definately good enough for the background material that I need

Brilliant stuff!

This may not be technical enough but here is a link to the

Space Shuttle News Reference - PDF format

Dave,

For reentry, you might try "Space Shuttle Entry Handbook" by Thomas C.
Ramey, Copyright 1990.
The ISBN is 0-929189-10-8 (softcover) and 0-929189-11-6 (hardcover).

In the acknowledgements it states that it is based on NASA Entry Flight
Procedures Handbook, Revision B, a NASA training document dated January
23 1984. I found the book to be a little humbling . . . thinking that
a new shuttle pilot has to know this stuff pretty cold and this is only
one aspect of any mission.

Best of luck . . .
