An experimental aerodynamic wind tunnel investigation was conducted employing a 0.00325 scale model of the McDonnell-Douglas space shuttle orbiter configuration. This investigation was conducted in the NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center 14- by 14- inch trisonic wind tunnel. The investigation was to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of the orbiter over the Mach number range of 0.4 to 5.0, an angle of attack variation from -4 degrees to 50 degrees, and -6 degrees to 9 degrees angle of sideslip. Control surface effectiveness was investigated for elevator, aileron, and rudder deflections.
