Data obtained from the wind tunnel tests of a scale model of the space shuttle orbiter configuration 140 A/B are presented. The test was conducted at Mach numbers of 2.5, 3.9, and 4.6 with Reynolds numbers from 1.25 million per foot to 5.0 million per foot. Various control surface settings were used ranging from an angle of attack range from minus 4 to plus 42 degrees at zero angle of yaw. Longitudinal stability and control characteristics of the space shuttle configuration were analyzed. (Author)
