A 0.015 scale model of a modified version of the MDAC space shuttle booster was tested in the Naval Ship Research and Development Center 7 x 10 foot transonic wind tunnel, to obtain force, static stability, and control effectiveness data. Data were obtained for a cruise Mach Number of 0.38, altitude of 10,000 ft, and Reynolds Number per foot of approximately 2 x one million. The model was tested through an angle of attack range of -4 deg to 15 deg at zero degree angle of sideslip, and at an angle of sideslip range of -6 deg to 6 deg at fixed angles of attack of 0 deg, 6 deg, and 15 deg. Other test variables were elevon deflections, canard deflections, aileron deflections, rudder deflections, wing dihedral angle, canard incidence angle, wing incidence angle, canard position, wing position, wing and canard control flap size and dorsal fin size.
Design of an efficient thermal protection system for the space shuttle orbiter and booster is discussed, based on knowledge of the thermal environment to be experienced by the vehicles in all flight phases. The complex configurations of these vehicles limit the level of confidence which can be associated with purely analytical thermal environment predictions. Tests were conducted during April and May 1971 using an orbiter and booster model at a 96-in. hypersonic shock tunnel. Both models were tested separately as well as together. A sufficiently large range in Reynolds number was covered so that laminar, transitional, and turbulent data could be obtained.
The results of a wind tunnel test program to determine the surface pressures and flow distribution on the McDonnell Douglas Orbiter configuration are presented. Tests were conducted in hypersonic wind tunnel at Mach 8. The freestream unit Reynolds number was 3.7 time one million per foot. Angle of attack was varied from 10 degrees to 60 degrees in 10 degree increments.
