A wind-tunnel study was performed of the longitudinal dynamic stability of the shuttle spacecraft at supersonic speeds. In particular, the study included the determination of the damping-in-pitch characteristics of the orbiter and of the booster, both separately and in a mated launch configuration, and the investigation of the effect of a simulated rocket exhaust plume and of the static and dynamic interference during abort separation. Static interference is defined here as caused by the proximity of the second vehicle when that vehicle is stationary, whereas dynamic interference denotes the same effect but with the other vehicle performing an oscillatory motion.
