The integrated space shuttle vehicle was tested to determine proximity force and moment data for the orbiter/external tank and solid rocket booster (SRB) with and without separation rockets firing for both single and dual booster runs. Data were obtained at points t = 0 sec, t = 1.25 sec, and t = 2 sec on the nominal SRB separation trajectory. (Author)
