The test provides data which will be used to determine the characteristics of the fluctuating pressures acting at the surfaces of the Gemini B/MOL. The pressure characteristics so determined, will be utilized to (1) perform structural response studies leading to structural loads verification and fatigue life predictions, and (2) assess and establish environmental vibration criteria. The test specimen is a 'rigid' 3-dimensional 10 percent scaled model of the orbiting vehicle. The test environment consists of simulating the flight parameters within the limitations of the selected wind tunnels. (Author)
