Test data on the effect of the interaction between the space shuttle orbiter rear-mounted reaction control system jets and the flow over the vehicle in the atmosphere are analyzed with particular attention to yaw angle effects. Masted tank-plus-orbiter jet interactions resulting from combinations of forward and rear-mounted reaction control jets being fired prior to external tank staging are also documented. The primary correlating parameter used for the mated data is a single-jet momentum ratioed to free-stream momentum. An analytic model for computing reaction control system interactions for all control combinations used for mated vehicle coast is included.
