The test was a conventional stability and control test except for two aspects. One was the very high angles of attack at which the delta wing configurations were tested (up to 60 degrees) at Mach numbers of 3 and 4.96. The other was the installation of the orbiter and twin boosters in a manner that caused the support system to induce normal forces and side forces on the aft portion of the boosters at all Mach numbers; i.e., the support and the booster bodies were close together, side by side.
