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. (Author)
