The flow field for the Vernier Reaction Control System (VRCS) jets of t'e Space Shuttle Orbiter has been calculated from the nozzle throat to the far-field region. The calculations involved the use of recently improved rocket engine nozzle/plume codes. The flow field is discussed, and a brief overview of the calculation techniques is presented. In additon, a proposed on-orbit plume measurement experiment, designed to improve future estimations of the Vernier flow field, is addressed.
