Interstage aerodynamic pressures on 2-stage missile with cold air simulated second-stage rocket motor were investigated over separation distances to 3 second-stage body diameters at Mach 2 pressure altitude of 38,000 ft in 8- by 6-ft tunnel; first stage interference effects produced higher than ambient second-stage base pressures over longer separation distance for jet-off staging than for jet-on.
