Post-test information and data are presented from phase change paint, aerodynamic heating wind tunnel tests of a Rockwell International space shuttle orbiter forebody model. These tests were conducted in the Arnold Engineering and Development Center Von Karman Facility Tunnel B Hypersonic Wind Tunnel. The purpose of these tests was to determine the effect of simulated orbiter protuberances and penetrations (including RCS nozzles) on aerodynamic heating rates during simulated entry conditions.
