    [3] [4] Each Space Shuttle SRB provided a maximum 14.7 MN (3,300,000 lbf) thrust, [5] roughly double the most powerful single-combustion chamber liquid-propellant rocket engine ever flown, the Rocketdyne F-1. With a combined mass of about 1,180 t (1,160 long tons; 1,300 short tons), they comprised over half the mass of the Shuttle stack at liftoff.

    The SRMU's fuel geometry is designed to generate highest thrust before 40 seconds, and to rapidly decrease thrust after 120 seconds. [3] Two SRMUs provide all of the Titan IV-B's thrust at liftoff and function as a "stage 0"; the LR87-AJ-11 on the core ignites at T+131 seconds, 15 seconds before booster separation. [6]

    The longest orbital flight of the Shuttle was STS-80 at 17 days 15 hours, while the shortest flight was STS-51-L at one minute 13 seconds when the Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart during launch. The cold morning shrunk an O-Ring on the right Solid Rocket Booster causing the external fuel tank to explode.

  9. Rocketdyne F-1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocketdyne_F-1

    Larger solid-fuel engines exist, such as the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster with a sea-level liftoff thrust of 2,800,000 lbf (12.45 MN) apiece. The Soviet (now Russian) RD-170 can develop more thrust than the F-1, at 1,630,000 lbf (7.25 MN) per engine at sea level, however, each engine uses four combustion chambers instead of one, to solve ...
