This paper discusses the field investigation and analytical methodology developed to validate flame ducts at space rocket launch facilities. To be commercially viable, commercial space programs are using re-launchable spacecraft and current launch complexes. These launch complexes were originally designed for different spacecraft with different launch characteristics such as launch pressure and temperature time histories. Essential parts of a launch complex are flame ducts that are used to deflect the rocket's exhaust and debris away from the rocket. While these flame ducts were often designed and constructed to accommodate a range of rockets, it is desired to use existing flame ducts for newer, larger rockets located closer to the inlet of the flame duct. Under such conditions, it is necessary to perform field as well as analytical investigations to validate the adequacy of the existing flame duct.
