OT Space Shuttle question
Hello all
I work on these engines. They are started with spark plugs that can
take a little heat, just way over priced. The sparks are sprayed to
ignite any leaking hydrogen. If to much hydrogen leaks into any space
it will detonate. The greater amount of gas the greater the
detonation. At Mississippi test site they use glow plugs all over the
engine for the same reason.
Hope this helped.
