Research abstract
LIKELY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE REDUCTION OF AERODYNAMIC DRAG AND HEATING ON THE ASCENT PHASE OF THE SPACE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM (SPACE SHUTTLE). THE PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT POTENTIALLY AVAILABLE FROM THIS RESEARCH SCENARIO MAY BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE THAN OTHER PRESENTLY FUNDED PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT OPTIONS. THE RESEARCH MAY ALSO REDUCE THE "MAX. Q" LOCATION AND DESIGN LOADS. THIS MAY IMPACT PRESENT AND FUTURE LAUNCH VEHICLE DESIGN.
