Simulation experiments were performed in the NASA Langley Full Scale Tunnel to investigate the retroplume heating rates encountered by a lander vehicle during a terminal descent to a planetary surface. A 10% scale model of the Viking Lander with freestream velocity conditions from 37 to 75 ft/sec was used for simulation. The simulation test data were close to the theoretical predictions of Hill et al. (1971).
