Body flap - a flap located at the bottom rear of the shuttle; it provides a thermal (heat) shield for the engines during re-entry and also provides pitch control (the movement of the nose up and down) during atmospheric flight (landings).
Delta wing - the triangular-shaped wings on either side of the Space Shuttle.
Elevon - a flap located on the trailing edge of each wing, used during atmospheric flight; elevons are used to control pitch (the movement of the nose up and down) and roll. The elevons work only in the presence of air (they do not work in space).
Flight deck - the part of the Space Shuttle in which the astronauts travel; it is in the front of the Shuttle.
Main landing gear - the landing gear (wheels used for landing) located at the rear of the Space Shuttle.
Main propulsion engines - large engines used to control the Space Shuttle during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. These engines control roll, pitch (the movement of the nose up and down), and yaw (the movement of the nose to the left and right) in the absence of air.
Nose landing gear - the landing gear (wheels used for landing) located at the front of the Space Shuttle.
Payload doors - the doors of the large storage compartment of the Space Shuttle; items like satellites can be carried into space in the cargo (payload) bay.
Orbital maneuvering system engine - small engines used to maneuver the Space Shuttle into orbit and to make adjustments while in orbit.
Split rudder/speed brake - a divided flap located on the trailing edge of the tail fin, used during atmospheric flight. This two-part rudder steers the shutte, controls yaw (the movement of the nose to the left and right), and acts as a brake (when the split rudder is opened like book). The rudder works only in the presence of air (they do not work in space).
Vertical tail - the fin at the top rear of the shuttle. It provides stability while flying, and the split rudder is attached to it.
