I have just modified one external link on Space Shuttle Orbital Maneuvering System. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Oppose for now, will keep track of the discussion. The page indicates that the system was Space Shuttle specific, so using the present name seems a more accurate encyclopedic descriptor. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:42, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Data mismatch dv/isp/mass
The figures, despite from seemingly reliable sources, don't add up.
Isp of 316 s
ve of 3100 m/s
ve = Isp*g0
dv
300 m/s
Orbiter dry mass
78,000 kg
Orbiter wet mass, or gross take-off weight
100-110,000 kg
depending on source
OMS fuel capacity
21,660 kg
Payload
29,500 kg
This means:
wet mass
129,000 kg
dry mass + payload + fuel
dry mass
59,000 kg
wet mass - payload - fuel
dv
565-750 m/s
dv = Isp * g0 * ln(m0/(m0-fuel)), for m0=129 and 100 tons, respectively
