Wind tunnel test of the 0.019 scale space shuttle integrated vehicle (model 14-OTS) in the CALSPAN 8-foot transonic wind tunnel (IA36), volume 2

A test is presented which was performed to determine the effect of cold jet gas plumes generated from main propulsion system and solid rocket motor nozzles on: (1) six-component force and moment data, (2) wing static pressures, (3) wing hinge moment, (4) elevon hinge moment, (5) rudder hinge moment, and (6) orbiter MPS nozzle pressure loads. The effects of rudder deflection, nozzle gimbal angle, and plume size were also obtained.

Results of a Pressure Loads Investigation on a 0.030-scale Model (47-OTS) of the Integrated Space Shuttle Vehicle Configuration 5 in the NASA Ames Research Center 11 by 11 Foot Leg of the Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel (IA81A), Volume 1

Results of wind tunnel tests on a 0.030-scale model of the integrated space shuttle vehicle configuration 5 are presented. Testing was conducted in the NASA Ames Research Center 11 x 11 foot leg of the Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel to investigate pressure distributions for airloads analyses at Mach numbers from 0.9 through 1.4. Angles of attack and sideslip were varied from -6 to +6 degrees.

Heat transfer tests on a 0.01-scale Rockwell configuration 3 space shuttle orbiter and tank (37-OT) in the Calspan 48-inch hypersonic shock tunnel (OH12/IH21), volume 1

Model information and data are presented from wind tunnel tests conducted on 0.01-scale models of the space shuttle orbiter and external tank. These tests were conducted in a hypersonic shock tunnel to determine heating rates on ascent and reentry configurations at various Reynolds numbers, Mach numbers, and angles of attack.

Heat transfer tests of an 0.006-scale thin-skin space shuttle thermocouple model (141-OT) in the Langley Research Center Freon tunnel at M-6 (IH18)

Ascent heating data were obtained at conditions simulating real gas effects at hypersonic Mach numbers. The configurations tested were Orbiter alone, external tank alone, and mated Orbiter and external tank. A boundary layer trip investigation was conducted for all configurations. The test was conducted at Mach 6 and Reynolds number of one half million per foot for 0 deg and -5 deg angle-of-attack. Selected thermocouples were chosen from the Orbiter and external tank to be used for obtaining heat transfer measurements. A maximum of 42 thermocouples could be measured by the facility data acquisition at one time and no attempt was made to record the excess thermocouples located on the model. Photographs of the test configurations are shown.
