Other things to add - eg ref the OMS workbook :

* propellants could be cross-fed between OMS pods

* OMS propellant could feed the RCS

* OMS pods had separate He tanks for the OMS and RCS systems

* OMS pods had N2 tanks, for post-firing engine purge, (and maybe other things)

* OMS engines could not be used under 70,000 ft (or nozzles might collapse)

* OMS engines could gimbal (and had two redundant sets of gimbaling actuators)
