It is desired that the Space Shuttle Orbiter be capable of landing at airports equipped to handle present-day jet transports. Since the majority of such airports are located near heavily populated areas, an investigation has been undertaken to determine whether or not the sonic boom generated during reentry of Space Shuttle Orbiters is potentially a serious problem. The investigation was concerned with the low cross-range orbiter and reentry concept proposed by Faget of the Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC). This report describes the approach used and presents the results obtained to date.
