Maintainability of the Space Shuttle Orbiter main engine.Review of the long-life and minimum-turnaround-maintenance features in the design of the Space Shuttle Orbiter main engine aimed at reducing the latter's field operating costs. These features include the regeneratively cooled hot-gas system selected, the provision of additional fatigue margins in the design of rotating machinery elements, and employment of a proven approach to engine condition monitoring for fault detection and identification.
