This is a view of :nasa: #NASA’s #SpaceShuttle #Atlantis’ aft section on display in the #AtlantisMuseum, #KSCVC. #Florida with #OMS pods and 3 replica #SSMEs installed.
The three Space Shuttle Main #Engines burned liquid hydrogen #LH2 and liquid oxygen #LOX stored in the External Tank to push the #Shuttle into #orbit.
The OMS helped the #Orbiter enter its final, intended orbit and carry out its mission.
OMS and the #RCS were both fueled by toxic, but #storable #hypergolic propellants ( #MMH and #N204). These components had to be #decontaminated before displaying them.
