Data were obtained on the performance of space shuttle flight instrumentation under simulated flight conditions. These conditions included ablating insulation material. The tests were conducted at a free-stream Mach number of 10 and tunnel stilling chamber conditions of 1800 psia and 1900 R. (Author)
