Wind tunnel test data for the modified space shuttle vehicle orbiter is documented. Tests were made at various elevon settings and additionally in wing off/bodyflap off configuration at angles of attack from -5 to 42.5 degrees at zero yaw. Data obtained on high hypersonic longitudinal and lateral directional stability and control characteristics of the updated SSV configuration in an initially diatomic medium are included. (Author)
