Experiments on the dynamic stability of the space shuttle
Abstract
Some dynamic stability experiments on the space shuttle using a half-model oscillatory technique are discussed. Resulting information from the experiments is presented and includes: (1) dynamic pitching characteristics of both the orbiter and the booster alone as well as of the two models mated into a single launch configuration; (2) the static and dynamic interference effects during an abort separation maneuver; and (3) the dynamic plume interference effect.
