Static-pressure signatures parallel to the flight path of the launch and entry configurations of the space shuttle were measured. The launch configurations, consisting of an equivalent body of revolution (representing the orbiter and external fuel tank) with a solid exhaust gas plume attached, was tested at an angle of attack of 0 deg. The entry configuration (orbiter only) was tested over an angle-of-attack range from 10 deg to 40 deg. Calculated pressure signatures were in good agreement with measured signatures for both configurations.
