A wind tunnel test was conducted to characterize the aeroacoustic environment of several configurations of the Space Launch System during ascent. The test was conducted in the 11-by-11 foot transonic and 9-by-7 foot supersonic test sections at NASA Ames research center. Throughout this experiment data was collected from several types of instrumentation including: dynamic and steady-state pressure sensors, unsteady and steady pressure sensitive paint, time-resolved shadowgraph and infrared imaging. The following details results and analysis from the time-resolved shadowgraph and infrared imaging data systems. The time-resolved shadowgraph provided a qualitative measurement of the near-field turbulent fluctuations. These results helped provide context to the relative magnitude and frequency content of the fluid-structure-interaction driving the surface pressure phenomena characterized by the discrete pressure transducers and unsteady pressure sensitive paint. The infrared imaging was used to verify boundary layer trip effectiveness and provide temperature correction for the unsteady pressure sensitive paint.
