A test is presented which was performed to determine the effect of cold jet gas plumes generated from main propulsion system and solid rocket motor nozzles on: (1) six-component force and moment data, (2) wing static pressures, (3) wing hinge moment, (4) elevon hinge moment, (5) rudder hinge moment, and (6) orbiter MPS nozzle pressure loads. The effects of rudder deflection, nozzle gimbal angle, and plume size were also obtained.
