Selected major hardware components and subsystems of the shuttle orbiter are described. These include the hardware configurations, development problems and solutions, performance requirements and attainment, major hardware fabrication problems and solutions, development test objectives and implementation, and utilization of test results for hardware refinements. The subsystems selected for discussion are the space radiator, the ammonia boiler, the flash evaporator, and avionics cold plates.
