NASAThis video shows a takeoff and landing of a crewed U.S. space shuttle. The shuttle's main components are a winged orbiter, a large external tank that carries the liquid fuel and oxidizer for the orbiter's three main engines, and two solid-fuel rocket boosters mounted on the sides of the external tank. The shuttle orbiter is a reusable spacecraft that reenters the atmosphere, makes an unpowered descent, and lands on a runway much like an airplane.
