MOL Rigid Body Fluctuating Pressure Test (1AL2). Volume I. Sequence Number B325. MOL Data Item UT-133.

Abstract

A wind tunnel test was performed to measure the fluctuating pressures at the surface and around flow perturbing geometrics on a 10% model of the MOL Orbiting Vehicle. The model was tested at 15 mach numbers and various angles of attack. Detail descriptions of the model, test plan, test procedures, and calibrations are included. Some data analysis in the form of comparing disturbed flow and undisturbed flow regions, the impact on current environmental criteria, and extrapolation to full scale conditions are also included.
