Low supersonic stability and control characteristics of .015-scale (remotely controlled elevon) model 44-0 of space shuttle orbiter tests in NASA/LaRC 4-ft UPWT (leg 1) (LA63A)
A Langley-built 0.015-scale Space Shuttle Orbiter model with remote independently operated left and right elevon surfaces was tested. The objective of the test was to generate a detailed aerodynamic data base for the current shuttle orbiter configuration. Special attention was directed to definition of nonlinear aerodynamic characteristics by taking data at small increments in angle of attack, angle of sideslip, and elevon position. Six-component aerodynamic force and moment and elevon position data were recorded over an angle of attack range from -2 deg to 20 deg at angles of sideslip of 0 deg and plus or minus 2 deg. Additional tests were made over an angle of range from -6 deg to 8 deg at selected angles of attack. The test Mach numbers were 1.5 and 2.0 while the Reynolds number held at a constant two million per foot. Photographs of the test configuration are shown.

Results of an investigation of jet plume effects on a 0.010-scale model (75-OTS) of the space shuttle integrated vehicle in the 8 x 7-foot leg of the NASA/Ames unitary wind tunnel (IA82C), volume 1
The primary test objective was to define the base pressure environment of the first and second stage mated vehicle in a supersonic flow field from Mach 2.60 through 3.50 with simulated rocket engine exhaust plumes. The secondary objective was to obtain the pressure environment of the Orbiter at various vent port locations at these same freestream conditions. Data were obtained at angles of attack from -4 deg through +4 deg at zero yaw, and at yaw angles from -4 deg through +4 deg at zero angle of attack, with rocket plume sizes varying from smaller than nominal to much greater than nominal. Failed Orbiter engine data were also obtained. Elevon hinge moments and wing panel load data were obtained during all runs. Photographs of test equipment and tested configurations are shown.

Results of an investigation of jet plume effects on an 0.010-scale model (75-OTS) of the space shuttle integrated vehicle in the 9 x 7-foot leg of the NASA/Ames unitary wind tunnel (IA82B), volume 1
The base pressure environment was investigated for the first and second stage mated vehicle in a supersonic flow field from Mach 1.55 through 2.20 with simulated rocket engine exhaust plumes. The pressure environment was investigated for the orbiter at various vent port locations at these same freestream conditions. The Mach number environment around the base of the model with rocket plumes simulated was examined. Data were obtained at angles of attack from -4 deg through +4 deg at zero yaw, and at yaw angles from -4 deg through +4 deg at zero angle of attack, with rocket plume sizes varying from smaller than nominal to much greater than nominal. Failed orbiter engine data were also obtained. Elevon hinge moments and wing panel load data were obtained during all runs. Photographs of the tested configurations are shown.

High supersonic stability and control characteristics of a 0.015-scale (remotely controlled elevon) model 49-0 of the space shuttle orbiter tested in the NASA/LaRC 4-foot UPWT (LEG 2) (LA63B)
The model tested was a Langley-built 0.015-scale SSV Orbiter model with remote independently operated left and right elevon surfaces. The objective of the test was to generate a detailed aerodynamic data base for the current Shuttle Orbiter Configuration. Special attention was directed to definition of nonlinear aerodynamic characteristics by taking data at small increments, angle of attack, angle of sideslip, and elevon position. Six-component aerodynamic force and moment and elevon position data were recorded over an angle-of-attack range from -4 deg to 45 deg, at angles of sideslip of 0 deg, + or - 2 deg, and + or - 4 deg. Additional tests were made over an angle of sideslip range from -6 deg to 8 deg at selected angles of attack. The test Mach numbers were 2.86, 3.90, and 4.60 with Reynolds number held at a constant two million per foot.
