Criticism_of_the_Space_Shuttle_program#Costs says "The toxic propellants used for the OMS/RCS thrusters required special handling, during which time no other activities could be performed in areas sharing the same ventilation system.

Orbital Maneuvering System – Unnecessary disambiguation, as "Orbital Maneuvering System" is enough and more widely used than "Space Shuttle Orbital Maneuvering System". Requesting to withdraw the nomination because of the unanimous opposition.

The figures, despite from seemingly reliable sources, don't add up.
Isp of 316 s | ve of 3100 m/s | ve = Isp*g0 |
dv | 300 m/s | |
Orbiter dry mass | 78,000 kg | |
Orbiter wet mass, or gross take-off weight | 100-110,000 kg | depending on source |
OMS fuel capacity | 21,660 kg | |
Payload | 29,500 kg |
This means:
wet mass | 129,000 kg | dry mass + payload + fuel |
dry mass | 59,000 kg | wet mass - payload - fuel |
dv | 565-750 m/s | dv = Isp * g0 * ln(m0/(m0-fuel)), for m0=129 and 100 tons, respectively |
What am I missing?

I feel this article should answer the question of why there was even a need to fit a separate OMS instead of using the main engines to perform its functions.-- Cancun ( talk) 11:50, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
