The Space Shuttle external tank (ET) was the component of the Space Shuttle launch vehicle that contained the liquid hydrogen fuel and liquid oxygen oxidizer. During lift-off and ascent it supplied the fuel and oxidizer under pressure to the three RS-25 main engines in the orbiter .
The RS-25, also known as the Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME), [1] is a liquid-fuel cryogenic rocket engine that was used on NASA's Space Shuttle and is used on the Space Launch System (SLS).
7 Ιουν 2016 · The red part is actually a fuel tank. It feed fuel to the shuttle's main engines. So, that fuel is actually burned by the shuttle.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA facts www.nasa.gov About six hours before Space Shuttle Discovery’s launch, the bright orange 15-story-tall fuel tank is loaded with 535,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and oxygen. Just before liftoff, these super cold liquids are mixed and burned by the shuttle’s three
The Space Transportation System (STS) is the formal name of NASA’s Space Shuttle, consisting of an aircraft-like orbiter, two boosters and a huge external tank. The stack, as the composite of orbiter, tank and boosters is called, has a gross liftoff weight of 2000 tonnes.
The Space Shuttle is a retired, partially reusable low Earth orbital spacecraft system operated from 1981 to 2011 by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as part of the Space Shuttle program.
NASA fuels discoveries that make the world smarter, healthier, and safer. The propulsion elements of the Space Shuttle, including the Main Engine, External Tank and Solid Rocket Boosters that propel the Space Shuttle into orbit are managed at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
