The 60-MW Shuttle Interaction Heating Facility is an arc-heated wind-tunnel system capable of simulating aerodynamic heating over a broad range of conditions. The purpose of the design was to provide for large scale testing of the thermal protection system for the Shuttle Orbiter Vehicle. The high power capability provides for large scale subsystem tests in high-enthalpy streams that have boundary-layer flows with high Reynolds numbers; it provides, as well, for large test-body sizes in stagnation flows. This paper summarizes the design concept of the arc-jet systems; the extensive hardware developments of the arc heater that result in reliable operations; and the verification and performance measurements of the facility operating envelopes.
