From what I have read, The SRBs use frangible nuts, not explosive bolts. I am not 100% on this, but am pretty sure. Just pointing out a possible inaccuracy.. EDIT: on a second look at the article, it states that the srbs are held down by four frangible nuts, and later in the article it states that explosive bolts are used. virtual date added, so can be picked up by the archiver: was sometime prior to 14:00, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
According to dictionary.com, "perforated" is an acceptable adjective. One meaning given is "Having a hole or holes, especially a row of small holes." -- Doradus 14:36, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
Were the fully assembled SRBs ever lifted (eg. in the VAB, or where they were joined), or were the field joints made on the mobile launch platform, after each segment was lifted onto the growing stack ? Article doesn't seem to say. Could add an Assembly subsection ? - Rod57 ( talk) 09:28, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
Having just completed a Lego model of the shuttle, I am aware of the black identification band near the top of the left SRB which is of course absent on the right SRB. I believe its purpose is identification during launch and recovery but I am unable to find a reference for this, other than in model marking diagrams on the web. It is so obvious in the photos that perhaps it is worth adding if someone can find a reference from NASA or Morton Thiokol? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MoorwaySouth ( talk • contribs) 12:45, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
Since these boosters are now on SLS, they need their share in infobox but since merging in original infobox is clumsy adding in SLS section that is a redirect to every person arriving from SLS page to this page 103.27.142.111 ( talk) 21:34, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
page says the sls boosters are 14.6 MN but also that they have about 25% more thrust than the space shuttle boosters (also 14.6 MN). 70.61.171.106 ( talk) 15:22, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
