A force test of a scale model of the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster was conducted in a trisonic wind tunnel. The model was tested with such protuberances as a camera capsule, electrical tunnel, attach rings, aft separation rockets, ET attachment structure, and hold-down struts. The model was also tested with the nozzle at gimbal angles of 0, 2.5, and 5 degrees. The influence of a unique heat shield configuration was also determined. Some photographs of model installations in the tunnel were taken and are included. Schlieren photography was utilized for several angles of attack. (Author)
