Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster

The Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster (SRB) is the rocket that provides most of the thrust required to launch the Space Shuttle into Low Earth orbit. Individually, it is the largest rocket motor ever flown; in a launch configuration, two SRBs plus the space shuttle main engine combine to produce more thrust than even the enormous Saturn V moon rocket.
