Studies to investigate the bailout characteristics from the Space Shuttle Orbiter at low-subsonic speeds have been made in the Langley 12-foot Low-Speed Tunnel and the Langley 4- by 7Meter Tunnel with 0.03-scale models. The effect of crew-model exit velocity, body posture, and body weight were studied with egress from the Orbiter main side hatch and from the upper cabin hatch. Force tests were made to determine the high angle-of-attack trim characteristics of the Orbiter in an attempt to improve bailout conditions. A computer simulation was made to evaluate the maneuver necessary to attain the high-angle trim.
