shows the major components that make up the forward RCS thruster system.
The larger primary thrusters perform the same function as the rear RCS
thrusters while the much smaller vernier thrusters very fine control to the
shuttles motion. |

The
RCS thrusters are name designated using their location, number and
thrust direction. Some of the name designations of the forward RCS
thrusters are shown on the diagram to the left. The direction of
motion of the Space Shuttle Orbiter due to the firing of any
combination of RCS jets can be determined by using the diagram to the
right.
