Why does the shuttle throttle on ascent?
"Blueskies" wrote in message . net... snip Yes, the aerodynamic loads are highest early in the flight so the engines are throttled then back up. The shuttle rolls over on its back to fake the occupants into feeling 3 gs when in fact the vehicle is pushing 4 gs.... For some time now the shuttle rolls to heads up well before 3 G throttling. This is done so the antennas can communicate with the TDRS satellites. Danny Deger
