There are a lot of systems in the orbiter to control and monitor!
There's stuff for the shuttle: The flight systems, the environmental controls, power to the different parts of the shuttle, fuel systems, communications systems of all flavors and types, navigation, many computers, and of course all the redundant backups that go with it!
Then there's the stuff that is used to control systems like the external tank, the SRBs, the gantry, etc.
That's not to say about the power and control for the experiments they have on board plus the remote arm in the cargo bay.
What else can I help you with?
Why was the space shuttle program so important to the success of the hubble space telescope?
Many reasons. For one, the telescope was started and designed specifically with the space shuttle in mind. It was launched on a space shuttle, and only the space shuttle's ability to carry astronauts and capture satellites with the robotic arm made the correctional repairs possible. Several servicing missions by space shuttles have upgraded and replaced vital parts to extend the telescope's life and keep it in orbit. After the Columbia disaster, the space shuttle and telescope's futures were both in question. If the space shuttle never existed, we wouldn't have the Hubble space telescope either.
What is the difference between a space station and the space shuttle?
A Space Station monitors the Space Shuttle being launched into space and so forth. And a Space Shuttle, is like a rocket they send into space. So the difference is a space shuttle is a rocket, and a space station is a building.
How many people can be in a space shuttle?
two to seven people can stay in a space shuttle at one time. so not over 8 people. I researched this so you know it is right. I am in middle school. just to let you know.
How many hours does it take for a space shuttle to travel around the world?
About one hour. The speed of the space shuttle can be between 18000 to 26000 miles per hour, so it can make one orbit about every hour.
When rockets leave the space shuttle how do they not catch the shuttle on fire?
The solid rocket boosters used by the space shuttle separate and fall away once they are burnt out, so there is no risk of them catching the shuttle on fire. Additionally, the boosters are designed to burn cleanly without producing excess flames or residue that could harm the shuttle.
Why are switches in a space shuttle cockpit so big?
During the launch and re-entry of the Space Shuttle, the Astronauts must wear the large bulky gloves that are part of their space suits. The controls and switches are made larger so that they are easier to use while wearing those golves.
What is a space shuttle like in space?
Technically, as an astronaut is weightless in space, so should a space shuttle!
How you feel in a space shuttle in outer space?
In a space shuttle at outer space, you will be going almost 100mp so you will not feel so well when you get out probably
What are the dimesions of the first space shuttle?
the dimensions of the first space shuttle are what they are that is the way that they were made so if you have a problem wiht that deal with it

Is the space shuttle program over?
she was in nasa and nasa as a space shuttle is know shut down so yes the program is over
How many shuttle flights are there altogether?
There have been a total of 128 space shuttle flights so far.This does not include those flown by Enterprise as these were test flights
