The yaw damping coefficients of two blunt entry vehicle models, measured from free-to-oscillate tests in the ODU/NASA subsonic magnetic suspension wind tunnel are presented. Multiple repeat trials were conducted for both models. Two separate data reduction methods were used to extract damping coefficients and yaw moment slope. Both methods identified similar damping and stability values, with differences being consistent with their known limitations.
