is a cutaway of the space shuttle
showing many critical systems. There is also a hi-resolution, (2250
x 1025), image linked to
Fig.
0-1 which makes locating and viewing individual components within the
orbiter much easier.

some primary views of the space shuttle along with overall dimensions of
specific components. Also shown are minimum ground clearances with takeoff
and landing weights.

is
an exploded view of the Space Shuttle's air frame. This image contains
hotspots one of which is linked to a full sized version of the image.

Orbiter
substructures:
Fig.

is
an exploded view of the space shuttles major sub assemblies. This image is
interactive and each
subassembly hotspot is linked to a series of diagrams that breakdown their structure
showing individual components and associated cutaway views. The blue
labels indicate exactly where that link will take you.

Detail
of wiring in the Mid and Aft Fuselage sections.
The
wiring diagram for the mid and aft fuselage gives the locations of
several support trays for avionics equipment in the mid fuselage area
and shows the electrical connections and pathways to the avionics
equipment. The
other important subsystem that feeds to the avionics equipment is active
cooling. This information is in the
active
cooling diagram located below next to Fig. H7.
