The objective was to verify the design thermal environments for the Space Shuttle External Tank. These environments encompassed a myraid of potential flight cases which included nominal and dispersed trajectories launched from Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and Vandenberg and abort cases. Many iterations of environments have been produced during the evolution of the Space Shuttle system which required an analysis and assessment of each environment. A significant effort was expended in the analysis and application of wind tunnel and heat transfer data to develop math/computer models. Various versions of the aeroheating computer code MINIVER were tailored to calculate ascent aeroheating environments for the External Tank. The significant environment assessment results are summarized.
