All the main parts of the airplane were located in the front part of the tubby fuselage , the fuel tank and retractable landing gear were right under the pilot 飞机的所有主要的部件位于桶状机身的前部，燃料箱和可收放的起落架位于飞行员下面。
It will be the space agency ' s fifth attempt to get the shuttle off the ground . a malfunctioning fuel tanks sensor foiled nasa ' s plans for lift off on friday 这是航天局第五次从地面发射航天飞机。燃料箱的传感器故障，美国宇航局星期五发射计划受挫。
The only two flights since then have been test s of safe ty improvement s to the fuel tank , but carr ied no major part s for the research outpost 此后仅有的两次飞行也只是对燃料箱的安全性改进做了测试，并没有向研究前哨（空间站）运送任何主要部件。
Also spotted by other skywatchers , the mystery cloud was quickly recognized as a fuel dump from a booster rocket used to place a satellite in geosynchronous orbit 这个画面同样被其他天空观测者发现，很快地，这条神秘的云带被认为是用来发射地球同步轨道卫星的助推火箭脱落燃料箱后造成。
The shuttle , in contrast , requires three rocket engines built into the vehicle , an external tank of liquid hydrogen and oxygen to feed those engines , and a pair of solid - fuel boosters 反观太空梭升空则需要使用三具内建的火箭引擎，外附装有液态氢和液态氧的燃料箱，以及一对固体燃料助力器。
Columbia was destroyed and its seven astronauts killed because of heat shield damage on the ship ' s wing caused by foam falling off the fuel tank during launch “哥伦比亚”号航天飞机发射升空时，从其燃料箱上脱落的一块泡沫材料击中了机翼上的隔热板，最终导致航天飞机解体爆炸，七名宇航员丧生。
Reflecting sunlight , the fuel dump plume begins on the west ( right ) side of the star field and expands as it slowly drifts eastward and fades during the time exposure , creating the wedge - shaped streak 反射阳光后，随着时间的推移，燃料箱开始从星场的西侧（右方）慢慢地向东漂移，形成了楔子状条纹。
These drawings covered four basic systems as used by mclaren and were : the internal layout of the fuel tank , the basic layout of the gear clusters , a tuned mass damper and a suspension damper 这些图纸包括迈凯伦车队的四个基本系统，它们是：燃料箱的内在布局，变速箱的基础设计，质量减震器和悬挂阻尼。
The impact broke open a heat panel on the wing , which allowed superheated gases to get inside the structure as columbia soared through the skies for landing 16 days later 燃料箱脱落物击穿了机翼的隔热板，使得热气流进入机体内部，导致哥伦比亚号在结束16天的空天航行返回地面之际，在德克萨斯州上空解体。
So far this reality has limited spaceflight to multistage expendable rockets or the space shuttle , which is assisted by strap - on fuel tanks and solid - fuel boosters that are jettisoned during ascent 目前为止，这个事实使太空飞行限于多阶段扩张式火箭或是太空梭；后者在上升过程中抛出附加的燃料箱和固体燃料助力器。
