Measured and predicted overpressures are compared for the launch and reentry of the Apollo 15 and 16 systems. Test sites were situated from 68 to 970 km downrange during ascent, and from 9 to 500 km uprange at splash-down. Sonic-boom signatures, details of instrumentation and a description of operating and ambient conditions are included.
