The use of foam insulation on the External Tank (ET) was necessitated by the potentially hazardous build up of ice on the vehicle prior to and during launch. This use of foam was initiated on the Saturn V rocket which, like the Space Shuttle, used cryogenic fuel. Two The focus is on the engineering challenges-propulsion, thermal protection, electronics, onboard systems-and the preparation that Heppenheimer explains in detail.
