Wind tunnel pressure signatures are presented for 10 Mach numbers over a range from 3.01 to 7.29 for a .00053-scale model of the Saturn 5 Apollo launch vehicle complete with escape tower and solid body simulated exhaust plumes for each Mach number. The effect of simulated plume length on the wind tunnel pressure signature was investigated at Mach 4.01. An analysis of the error incurred by extrapolating pressure signatures having strong shock waves by weak shock procedures is presented. (Author)
