摘要: A unified analysis of the Shuttle Orbiter aerothermodynamic environment and thermal protection system performance is presented using Space Transportation System development flight data. Comparisons predicted measured temperatures heating rates along lower windward fuselage centerline wing 50% 80% semispans are discussed. The results this study indicate than on surface, but higher nose cap semispan panels.
