Preliminary results from the STS-28 flight of the Shuttle Infrared Leeside Temperature Sensing (SILTS) experiment aboard the Shuttle Orbiter Columbia are presented. Infrared images are shown in false-color indicating the level and distribution of surface temperature on the leeside of the left wing during entry. Features evident in the imagery are related to their causative aerodynamic flow phenomena. Quantitative comparisons of the infrared image data with in situ temperature measurements obtained with thermocouples located at the aerodynamic surface of the thermal protection system materials are presented.
