How does a space shuttle launch?

How does a space shuttle launch?

For a 4.5 million pound shuttle to lift off from a launching pad to orbit above Earth it must use the following components in order to lift off:

Ø  Two solid rocket boosters (SRB)
Ø  Three main engines of the orbiter
Ø  The external fuel tank (ET)
Those components all have to work together in order for the shuttle to lift off. If one doesn’t work properly the shuttle will go so far up and the spiral back down to Earth.
