Super Lightweight Interchangeable Carrier. The data show that RCS nozzle exit momentum ratio is the primary correlating parameter for effects where the plume impinges on an adjacent surface and mass flow ratio is the parameter where the plume interaction is primarily with the external stream. Space Launch System (SLS) Space Launch System (SLS) Block 1. The effect of number of nozzles was tested as were limited tests of combined controls.

The concept is similar to traditional flight simulator software, but you are not limited to atmospheric flight. The plume simulations were accomplished primarily using air in a cold gas simulation through scaled nozzles, however, various cold gas mixtures of Helium and Argon were also tested. Orbiter is a real-time 3D space flight simulator for the Windows PC. The data were obtained with a 0.01 scale force model with aft mounted RCS nozzles mounted on the sting off of the force model balance. Test data obtained in the NASA Langley Research Center 31 inch continuous flow hypersonic tunnel at a nominal Mach number of 10.3 is analyzed. The effects of interaction between the RCS jets and the flow over the vehicle in the atmosphere are studied. Space shuttle orbiter reaction control system jet interaction study The space shuttle orbiter has forward mounted and rear mounted Reaction Control Systems (RCS) which are used for orbital maneuvering and also provide control during entry and abort maneuvers in the atmosphere.
