Climatological data sets to determine the risk of Shuttle landing delay for selected alternate landing sites were evaluated. Construction of a Shuttle ascent data tape using L-O atmospheric data for a specified Shuttle launch are reported.
Synoptic weather conditions existing over the western United States for the time of Shuttle descent are presented. The techniques and methods used to furnish synoptic atmospheric data at the surface and aloft for flight verification of the STS 3 orbiter during its descent are specified. Examples of the upper level data set are given.
