A 1-lb-thrust rocket engine was tested to determine plume symmetry and Mach number contours at 400,000-ft altitude. Total pressure surveys were made with and without a flat plate in the plume. The tests without the plate indicated the plume was symmetrical, and measured results compared well with computed values. In tests with the plate, the shock interaction and boundary-layer buildup on the plate were measured. (Author)
