Wind tunnel test results of the Winged Space Vehicle executed in 1984 and 1985 at the National Aerospace Laboratory in Tokyo are discussed. The test was conducted and supported by the Working Group for the Development of a Winged Space Vehicle at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) to obtain the aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle recently studied in a preliminary aerodynamic design phase. In the present study, attention has been paid to both longitudinal and lateral/directional stability and controllability at high angles of attack at the high speeds encountered at atmospheric reentry. Test results are summarized in terms of aerodynamic coefficients and their derivatives. Detailed discussions are made to reveal the relations between vehicle configuration and aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle.
