Space Shuttle External Tank Instrumentation Evaluation.

Abstract

Data were obtained on the performance of space shuttle flight instrumentation under simulated flight conditions. These conditions included ablating insulation material. The tests were conducted at a free-stream Mach number of 10 and tunnel stilling chamber conditions of 1800 psia and 1900 R. (Author)
