German term

Aluminiumstreben

German to English Tech/Engineering Aerospace / Aviation / Space
Als permanente Lösung des Problems gilt - zumindest bei der Nasa - der Austausch von Aluminiumstreben am Außentank durch solche aus Titan. Dann könnte die Isolierschicht dünner ausfallen. Das Risiko, dass große Schaumstücke abplatzen, würde sinken.
Proposed translations (English)

Or aluminium struts in BE.

Shannon said NASA was balancing conflicting concerns. First, it wanted to assess whether the heated air that surrounds a shuttle on re-entry might damage aluminum struts, normally completely protected by the heat-shield tiles, in Endeavour's underside. Lengthy repairs might delay future flights and NASA has a mandate from the White House to finish the International Space Station in 2010 and retire the space shuttle fleet.
