External fuel tank

It was thus doomed from the beginning; even when scientists and engineers first dreamt of launching people into space, they knew that to achieve it something as extraordinarily strong would be necessary. They learned that a big rocket was needed to send a spacecraft high up in the air, and off into space. But then came the subsequent question of how to actually fuel a rocket that large and with so much thrust. Enter the external fuel tank.

The Role of the External Fuel Tank in NASA Space Missions

The large container which houses all the fuel required to take a spacecraft into space, is known as an external fuel tank. The satellite is just like a really big gasoline tank for the rocket. High importance is given to this tank by NASA since it also affects the missions of their spacecraft. The insulation is required because it keeps the fuel at a consistent temperature and also helps to keep the fuel from sloshing around during launch: The tank as well must be tough enough under all of that pressure millions of pounds thats constantly changing forces press event contains resist and has strong walls too.
