Data obtained from a wind tunnel test of a 0.015-scale 140A/B configuration SSV orbiter model are presented. This test was conducted with runs at Mach numbers of 2.5, 3.9, and 4.6 for a constant Reynolds number of 2.5 x 1,000,000/foot. Only one model configuration, the complete 140A/B orbiter vehicle, was investigated; various control-surface settings were run through angles-of-attack from -4 to +42 degrees at 0 and +3 degrees of yaw and through angles-of-sideslip from -4 to +6 degrees at 0, +10, +20, and +30 degrees pitch. The purpose of this test was to establish and verify longitudinal and lateral-directional stability and control characteristics for the updated SSV configuration. (Author)
