INTRODUCTION

The Thermal Protection System (TPS) for the Space Shuttle External Tank

(ET) is designed to maintain primary structure, subsystem components, and pro-

pellants within design temperature limits. The three thermal protection materials

currently used to protect the outer surfaces of the ET are Foam Insulation (several

types), Ablator SLA-561, and Ablator MA-25. The type, location, and thicknesses

of these materials are primarily dictated by the level of the aerodynamic heating

environments during ascent flight (lift-off to MECO). The ascent design thermal

environments for the ET were generated by Rockwell International (RI). This set,

referred to as the IVBC-3 set, [1] is composed of the time dependent definition

of flow field and heating data for 679 surface locations on the ET skin and pro-

tuberances. These environments reflect the most up to date wind tunnel results

(TFL97, [2]) as well as flight heating measurements from STS 1-7.

The objective of this study was to produce an independent set of ascent en-

vironments which would serve as a check on the Rockwell IVBC-3 environments

and provide an independent reevaluation of the thermal design criteria for the Ex-

ternal Tank. Design heating rates and loads were calculated at 367 acreage body

point locations. Ascent flight regimes covered were lift-off, first stage ascent, SRB

staging and second stage ascent through ET separation.

The purpose of this report is to document these results, briefly describe the

methodology used and present the environments along with a comparison with the

Rockwell IVBC-3 counterpart. This report is presented in two Volumes. Volume

I contains the methodology and environment summaries. Volume II contains the

plotted timewise environments comparing the REMTECH results to the RI IVBC-

3 results.

BODY POINT DESCRIPTION

Ascent heating environments were calculated at acreage body point locations.

These locations were broken into four categories: (a) The nose spikes and nose cone

(327.25 < XT _< 371.0), (b) The LO2 tank (371.0 < XT _< 852.80), (c) The intertank

(852.80 <_ XT _< 1125.15), and (d) The LH2 tank (1125.15 < XT _< 2173.02). Body

point locations for these components are shown in Figs. 1 through 5 respectively.

TRAJECTORY

The ascent aeroheating environments were generated using the 1980 BRM 3A

3_ Dispersed Light Weight Tank (LWT) Design Trajectory. It is based on a De-

cember launch from the Vandenberg Western Test Range and incorporates a right

quartering head wind with s and fl dispersions. The trajectory data consists of

the altitude, velocity, angle of attack (s), angle of side slip (8), ambient density

and temperature, and the As and Aft system dispersions from lift-off through ET

separation. The tabulated trajectory data is contained in Table 5

Nominal trajectory s and fl values were combined with the As and A]3 dis-

persions to produce the worst case envelopes as follows:

s + -- s + As + (3.1)

s- = s - As- (3.2)

/3 + = ]3 + A/3 + (3.3)

f/- = ]3 - A]3- (3.4)

The altitude and velocity profiles for the ascent thermal design trajectory as

a function of time for first and second stage flight are presented in Fig. 7. The

nominal and dispersed angles of attack and yaw for first and second stage flight

are given in Fig. 8.

HEATING METHODOLOGY

4.1 General Discussion

The procedure used in calculating the ascent convective heating environments

on the ET was first to calculate the undisturbed body alone heating at the flight

conditions, then to amplify the undisturbed level with interference factors. The

interference factors are a result of shock wave-boundary layer interactions, effects of

mated components (SRB's, Orbiter) surface irregularities and protuberance effects.

The undisturbed heating was calculated using semi-empirical flat plate methods

converted from 2D to axisymmetric body by the Mangler transformations. The

interference factors were determined from wind tunnel and flight test data.

4.2 Undisturbed Heating

Ascent convective heating environments were generated using the LANMIN

code [3] on the 30 ° conical nose tip, 10 ° nose cone and 40 ° conical section of

the LO2 tank. Heating at the remaining locations i.e., LO2 tank, Intertank, and

LH2 tank, were generated using the ETCHECK code [4] developed at REMTECH

specifically for the ET ascent phase of flight.

A summary of the flowfield, laminar and turbulent heating methods used for

each component of the ET is presented in Tables 6 through 9. The rarefied heating

methodology, based on the work of Engel and Praharaj [5], is presented in Table 10.

4.2.1 ET Nose Spike

The nose spike is composed of a 30 ° nose tip and a 10 ° nose cone afterbody.

Shock shape for the spike was determined from the 30 ° nose tip i.e., a 30 ° sharp

cone while the surface static pressure was determined from the 30 ° cone for the

nose tip and a 10 ° sharp cone for the 10 ° after body. Turbulent heating was

calculated from Spalding-Chi skin friction correlations and laminar heating from

the Eckert Reference Method. AVon Karman Reynolds analogy was used to

calculate heating from the skin friction relations. Flight path angles of attack and

yaw were accounted for by resolving an effective angle of attack:

4.2.2 LO2 Tank, Intertank and LH2 Tank

As previously stated heating at body points on the L02, Intertank and LH2

Tank were calculated using the ET Check code. The procedure used in calculating

the undisturbed heating in this code is to:

a.) Calculate the undisturbed heating (ttuo) along the trajectory for aeff = 0

deg, then

b.) calculate the undisturbed heating at angles of attack and yaw by:

The ratio Hu/Huo is undisturbed heating at angle of attack divided by undis-

turbed heating at zero angle of attack. A study of experimental and analytical

data suggested using simple curve fits for the ratio Hu/Huo. Curve fits are also

used to calculate the recovery enthalpy ratio Hr/H_.o. This approach sacrifices

little in accuracy and significantly saves computer time. The curve fits for the

heat transfer coefficient and recovery enthalpy ratios are defined as follows:

Again the trajectory dispersed angles of attack and yaw were combined into an

The methods for defining the heat transfer coefficient and the recovery enthalpy

(Huo and H,.o) for zero angle of attack will now be discussed.

4.2.2.1 Shock Shape

The nose shape of the ET is bi-conic with a 10 ° conical spike 13.6" long attached

to a 39.38 ° nose cone that is 30.2" long. Flow visualization data from wind tunnel

tests have shown that the bow shock shape is determined by the nose spike. The

shock angle is determined at each time step from a table stored in the ETCHECK

of shock angles as a function of stream Mach Number for a sharp cone with a half

angle of 39.38 °. The shock wave angle for the 39.38 ° half angle sharp cone as afunction of free stream Mach Number is presented in Figure 9.

4.2.2.2 Surface Pressure

The surface pressure for arty location on the ET body is calculated by using a set

of empirical equations developed by REMTECH that was based on experimental

and analytical pressure data for the ET. The analytical data that were obtained

from MOC solutions for inviscid flow and viscous effects were accounted for by

application of viscous interaction theory. A detailed derivation and definition of the

empirical relations used to calculate the surface pressure are given in Refe.rences [5]

and [6]. Pressure distributions along the ET surface are shown in Figure 10 at

LWT design trajectory conditions where the Mach Number is 3.0 and 4.1. The

local surface pressure is a function of the local body angle (8,). The equations

used to calculate 8, for the ET body are as follows.

4.2.2.3 Laminar/Turbulent Heat Transfer

Turbulent and laminar flat plate heating methods are used to calculate the

skin friction and heat fluxes for the acreage points. The method of Spalding and

Chi is used to calculate the turbulent skin friction which is transformed to tur-

bulent heating through the Von Karman form of the Reynolds analogy. For the

laminar case s the method of Eckert is used to calculate the heat transfer parame-

ters. Mangler transformation factors required to transform the flat plate heating

to axisymmetric body heating are shown in Figure 11.

The equations used to calculate the running length are given below. The light-

ning rod spike is ignored and running length is assumed to start at the hypothetical

apex of the 39.38 ° cone.

4.2.2.4 Boundary Layer Transition

For undisturbed acreage points, the flight data indicated that transition from

turbulent to laminar occurred between the times that Ree/ML = 94 and 47. For

disturbed points, it was difficult, if not impossible, to detect when transition oc-

curred. Based on engineering judgements of all the data analyzed, it was decided

to force the transition from turbulent to laminar abruptly where Ree/ML = 47 for

disturbed flow regions.

4.2.2.5 Rarefied Heating

Rarefied heating to the ET nose spike and 40 ° nose cone was calculated us-

Lug correlations from Reference [6]. The methodology is defined in Table 10.

The switching criteria from boundary layer heat transfer methods to the rarefied

methodology was calculated as follows:

4.3 Disturbed Acreage Environment Methodology

Approximately two-thirds of the flow over the ET is disrupted due to the pres-

ence of the Orbiter mounted on top and the two SRB's mounted on each side

of the ET. Early in the Shuttle program, it was decided that the aeroheating

methodology would consist of a reference heating for disturbed flow that is ampli-

fied due to various flow disturbances such as protuberances, attached bodies, and

rough surfaces. This approach was followed for wind tunnel testing, data reduc-

tion, environment generation, and flight data reduction/analysis. The calculation

approach is summarized below for wind tunnel testing and/or design environment

generation.

1. Define undisturbed heating (Hu) over a clean skinned unmated ET at a

prescribed flow condition (_, fl, V_, M_, p_, etc.).

2. Define the proximity amplification factor (Hi/Hu) due to the presence of the

Orbiter, SRBs, and adjacent protuberances.

3. Define amplification factors due to surface irregularities; roughness (Hrough/Hsmooth)

and (Hstfinge, ///smooth).

4. Apply any scaling factors (if applicable) that resulted from analysis of the

flight data.

The resultant heating can then be written as

H'-Hu(-_u) (H'°ush ! (Hstfinge') (__\ Hsmooth / k/'/smooth _,.HW.T. /

The undisturbed heating for a, fl ¢ 0 ° was further simplified in this study to

Hu = x Huo

where Hu/Huo is given by simple curve fits previously discussed.

This section will address each amplification factor and give a brief explanation

of their derivation and application.

4.3.1 Proximity Amplification Factor (Hi/Hu)

An extensive wind tunnel test program was conducted from 1972-1981 at var-

ious facilities throughout the United States to provide a data base for Hi/Hu.

Table 11 is an example of Hi/Hu input data required for calculation of a disturbed

point. The matrix is for fl = -9 ° to 9 ° with c_ = -5 °, 0 ° and 5 °. Note that there are

two phases (1 and 2) of Hi/Hu definition. Phase I is divided into two parts, one

for the first stage launch configuration O/T/S and one for the second state launch

configuration (O/T). The flow in Phase I is fully turbulent for acreage points and

the values for Hi/Hu are generally provided by the wind tunnel data base. The

calculation requires the definitions of Hi/Hu for two Mach Numbers for both the

O/T/S and O/T configurations. A linear interpolation of the given Hi/Hu values

as a function of Moo in the log/log plane provides values of Hi/Hu at intermedi-

ate Mach Numbers. This interpolation is required for each c_, fl combination to

fill the main matrix at each intermediate Mach Number (time point). Figure 12

demonstrates how Hi/Hu is interpolated/extrapolated between and beyond the

given Mach Numbers for phase 1. In the calculation scheme the time that the

SPas separate is an input which triggers the transfer from the O/T/S data base

to the O/T data base.

Phase 2 is defined as that period of second stage flight when the flow is assumed

to be laminar and rarefied. A change in the Hi/Hu format occurs between phase

1 and phase 2. For phase 1, Hi/Hu is assumed to be a function of c_,/3 and Moo

whereas for phase 2, Hi/Hu is assumed to be only a function of Mach Number.

There was an insufficient data base for simulated second stage flight conditions to

define the effects of a and 3 on Ki/Hu so the approach was to envelope the existing

data at each Mach Number. This conservative assumption is not considered very

significant since the aeroheating environment during the phase 2 period of flight islow.

The switch from the phase 1 to the phase 2 Hi/Hu data base is defined as

the first time that the boundary layer is laminar in the undisturbed environment

solution. A smooth transition can be accomplished if the user applies the following

equation at the phase 1/phase 2 interface when preparing the phase 2 Hi/Hu database.

4.3.2 Surface Roughness \H,mooth/'H, ou_h )

The foam which is sprayed on the ET leaves a rough textured and _ometimes

wavy surface which, for turbulent boundary layers, can significantly increase aero-

dynamic heating. Wind tunnel tests were conducted to quantify the amplificationof heating due to the roughness/waviness of the foam surface. The data was incor-

porated into existing empirical methods and surface roughness factors were derived

for design flight conditions. The details of the roughness/waviness tests and anal-

ysis are reported in References [7]-[9]. The surface roughness/waviness factors

(P_.F.) that are currently used in design environment calculations are as follows:

Nose cone (39.38 °) R.F.- 1.0 (SLA finish fairly smooth)Ogive R.F. = 1.3

Ogive Barrel R.F. = 1.1Intertank R.F. = 1.15

LH2 R.F. = 1.1

The roughness/waviness (I_.F.) factor is applied only for acreage points when

the boundary layer is turbulent.

4.3.3 Intertank Stringer/Waviness Factor (H,t_Ae,_k Hsmooth]

The intertank (852.8 < XT <_ 1123.15) cylindrical structure consists of eight

joined panels (two ribbed panels on each side and six panels with external stringers).

Figure 13 presents the intertank TPS design for the series of lightweight tanks

(LWT) 1-44. With the advent of the two gun spray equipment series of tanks >

LWT 44, the E.T. will return to an all CPR-488 TPS on the intertank and no

non-stringered external surface areas. Based on a study conducted by Engel [10]

that analyzed wind tunnel heat transfer data reported by Brandon [11] for wavy

walls, the following empirical relationships are recommended for minor and major

crossflow regions. These regions are defined in Figure 14.

Minor crossflow regions are defined as those where the flow disturbances due

to the presence of the Orbiter and SRBs are small and the crossflow angle ¢ is

less than _, 9 °. The equations recommended to calculate stringer factor effects on

average heating for minor crossflow regions are given below.

where W.F. is the average heating amplification over a wavelength. Peak heating

areas near the cap of the stringers are not accounted for in the above correlation.

There are three major cross flow regions on the intertank. Each side of the in-

tertank has significant cross flow due to the presence of the SRBs and the top of the

tank experiences significant crossflow due to the presence of the orbiter. In these

highly disturbed regions, the cross flow angle can experience values from moderate

(<9 °) to _ 90 ° depending on the attitudes (_, fl) of the vehicle. Due to this reason,

it was decided to envelope the factors between 0 __ _ __ 90 ° which results in the

stringer/waviness factor for the major crossflow regions to only depend on Moo.

The following table for the strlnger/wavlness factor is recommended for the major

crossflow regions when the boundary layer is turbulent.

Moo Stringer/Waviness Factor

1 1.0

3 1.28

4 1.37

5.3 1.46

These values again only represent the average amplification of heating over a wave-

length. Later in the flight when the boundary layer becomes laminar and rarefied,

the stringer factor is assumed to be 1.0.

Tunnel Scale Factors (_)Flight/Wind

The Hi/Hu proximity factors discussed in Section 4.3.1 are normally based on

wind tunnel data measured on smM1 models of the full scale ET. There were six

instrumented flight ETs that were flown between April 12, 1981 and June 18, 1983

that measured aerodynamic heating and pressures at various surface locations.

The analysis of the flight data showed for certain locations and flight regions that

the wind tunnel and flight data did not agree. Flight test data from STS 1-3, 5, 6

and 7 consequently were used to generate scale factors between wind tunnel and

flight. The scale factor:

H i / Hu )flisht

was applied as a direct multiplier on the wind tunnel data at M=3.00 and 4.00,

Hi = (Hi/Hu)wind tunnel X f X HUo

ments.

ASCENT ENVIRONMENTS

5.1 Timewise Environments

Timewise ascent thermal design environments were generated at 367 acreage

body point locations on the External Tank. These environments are composed

of aerodynamic convective and plume convective heating. Environments: are com-

puted for lift off, first stage ascent, SRB staging and second stage ascent through

ET separation. SRM and SSME radiation heating are not accounted for. Envi-

ronments at body point locations for Xr < 1871 are composed of aerodynamic

convective heating only. For body points aft of XT >_ 1871, plume convection has

been included.

Due to the complex flow field interaction around the E.T. base region, several

ground rules were established to define the application of plume and aeroheating.

For the acreage locations, these are:

1. ET Aft Dome

(a) No aeroheating

(b) Plume convective heating throughout first stage

2. ET Aft Barrel Acreage (XT = 2000 to XT = 2058)

(a) Aeroheating from 0 to 95 seconds and throughout second stage

(b) Plume convective heating from 95 seconds to end of first stage

3. ET Aft Barrel Acreage (X T = 1871 to XT = 2000)

(a) Aeroheating from 0 to 95 seconds and throughout second stage

(b) More severe of either aeroheating or plume convective heating from 95

seconds to end of first stage

For those body points where plume heating was the main contributor between

95 and 126 seconds, design plume heating rates were generated versus time and

integrated along with the convective aeroheating component to give the total load.

RTR 174-01

An example of the timewise environments is presented in Table 12. This par-

ticular environment is for Body Point 7432 located at XT = 1132.2 in. and 0T =

315 °. Parameters listed include trajectory time, altitude (ALT), vehicle velocity

(vel) and Much number, angle of attack (ALP), angle of sideslip (BET), effective

angle of attack (AEFF), recovery enthalpy (HR), heat transfer coefficient (HCNV),

cold waU heating rate (QDOT), integrated heat load (QLoAD) and the Hi/Hu in-

terference heating factor (INTRF). Tabulated timewise environments similar to

those presented in Table 12 are on file at REMTECH, Inc. for each of the 367

body point locations.

5.2 Environment Presentation

Summary environments in the form of tabulated maximum cold wall heating

rates (Tw=460°R) and integrated heat load for each body point are presented in

Table 13. The maximum heating rates listed pertain to convective aeroheating

only. The loads include plume convection for body point locations XT > 1872.The Rockwell IVBC-3 environments are included for comparison purposes.

Most of the body points on the aft barrel section and aft dome are driven

by plume convection between 95 and 126 seconds. These points along with the

maximum aeroheating and plume convection heating rates are listed in Table 14.

The dominant heating component between 95 and 126 seconds is also identified. As

before, the Rockwell IVBC-3 maximum aeroheating rate is listed for comparison.

Timewise environments for each body point are presented in Volume II in the

form of cold wall heating rate versus time. Comparisons are made with the RI

IVBC-3 counterpart. Integrated heat loads are tabulated at the top of each plot.

These environments contain both aeroheating and plume convection. Compara-

tive comments are made giving the relative status of each environment from the

stand point of TPS impact. The environments are presented in numerical order

according to body point and are grouped according to component i.e., LO2 Tank,

Intertank, LH2 Tank, etc. Green spacer pages separate each group of body points.

In addition, the summary environments presented in Table 13 are also presented

in Volume II.

REMTECH/ROCKWELL IVBC-3 ENVIRONMENTCOMPARISON

Of the 380 acreage body point locations on the E.T. for which environments

were calculated and comparisons made, 30 were not acceptable and required an in-

depth analysis. These are listed in Table 15. The remainder of body pointlocatlons

exhibited a favorable comparison between the REMTECH design environment

and the Rockwell IVBC-3 counterpart. The guidelines used to judge whether an

environment was comparable or unacceptable are:

1. Does the heating rate history track the IVBC-3 rate in the time frame 80 to

120 seconds when maximum heating occurs,

2. Does the maximum heating rate and integrated heat load compare between

the two, and if not, are the REMTECH values lower than the IVBC-3 values,

(heat load was considered secondary in importance) and lastly,

3. If the REMTECH environment is greater than the RI IVBC-3 environment,

does it impact the TPS.

6.1 40 ° Cone

The Rockwell environments for Body Points 70500, 70550, 70575, 70600, 70650,

and 70675 axe considerably lower than the REMTECH calculations. A summary

plot comparing the axial maximum cold wall heating rate distribution between

the two methods is presented in Figure 15. The wind tunnel data for this region

was laminar/transitional where as the flight data was transitional/turbulent. TheREMTECH environments included the nose spike interference effects that were

based on flight data. In addition, the REMTECH environments assumed that the

amplification factor over the entire 40 ° . cone surface was constant. The Rockwellenvironments were based on wind tunnel distributions that measured low heating

levels for XT < 350. The difference between Rockwell and REMTECH, however,

should not impact the current TPS design since the area is designed by the envi-

ronment at B. P. 70700 (XT = 354).

RTR 174-01

6.2 LO 2 Tank

The REMTECH design heating rates for Body Points 71363, 71369, 71381,

71388, and 71394 on the LO2 Tank do not track the Rockwell counterpart in the

time frame 80 to 110 seconds. The tLEMTECH maximum rate is higher by gener-

ally 1 Btu/fts-sec. In investigating this anomaly, it was found that the tLEMTECH

calculations were generally higher on the LO2 Tank from XT = 350 to approxi-

mately XT -- 600 at other body point locations also. This is shown in Figure 16

which is a comparison of the Rockwell and REMTECH maximum heating rates

on the foreward porton of the LO2 Tank. The reason for this discrepancy could

not be found. However, the TPS design is not impacted since the difference in

heating amounts to a difference in TPS of approximately 0.1 inches of CPR. This

is well within the uncertainty of 0.38 inches of TPS allowed during application.

TPS application tolerances are defined in Table 16.

6.3 Intertank

Table 15 lists the l.ntertank body points where discrepancies between Rockwell

and tLEMTECH existed i.e., the tLEMTECH environments were higher. At all

of these points the agreement is acceptable and the difference in heating in the80 - 130 second time frame results in approximately a difference of 0.1 inches

of CtLR being removed due to ablation. This is within the tolerance allowed

in applying the TPS (see Table 16). However, at Body Point 7355, which is

located at XT = 961 and 0T = 270 deg in the SRB foreword attach area (see

Fig. 4c), the difference in heating is significant enough to impact the TPS in thatarea. The current design in that area is a nonstringered configuration as shown in

Fig. 17a (Ref. 12). For this case which covers LWT 16-43, the configuration covers

the Rockwell design environment with a peak heating rate of 16.5 BTU/ft2sec.

The Rockwell environment is calculated for a non stringered configuration and

tLEMTECH agrees with this calculation as shown in Fig. 18. However, with the

advent of the two gun spay equipment series of tanks (LWT >_ 44), the E.T.

will return to all CPR-488 TPS on the intertank. With this configuration, Fig.

17b, there will be no non stringered external surface areas. In this light, when

the stringer factors are added to the heating calculation, tLEMTECH predicts a

peak rate of 21.8 BTU/ft2sec and the heating is considerably higher (Fig. 18)

than for the non'stringered configuration. The difference in heating results in

a difference of approximately 1.00 inch of CPR-488 removal. Consequently, the

design environment at B.P. 7355 needs to be recalculated by Rockwell with the

consideration of using stringer factors after LWT 43.

6.4 LH2 Tank

A lack of agreement between RI IVBC-3 and REMTECH was found at Body

Point locations 1401, 6582, 7694, 7931, and 7935 on the LH2 Tank.

Examining the environments in the vicinity of B.P. 1401, Figure 19, shows

that the IVBC-3 environment is high from a consistency standpoint within the

Rockwell set. In addition, the Hi/Hu data base was checked and the interference

factors listed for the IVBC-3 design environment are not consistent with the wind

tunnel data base (T/C 5252 FROM I_-97).

The Rockwell design environment for B.P. 6582 is believed to be high. This

body point is located underneath the LO2 Feedline at XT = 1127. Maximum

design heating rates at similar locations on the LH2 Tank are in the 1.0 to 3.0

Btu/fts-sec, whereas the environment for 6582 is 5.8. (See B.P.s 6590-6593, and

6603-6606). Examining the interference factor data base, the factors for B.P. 6582

range from 10 to 13 in the Mach 3.0 to 4.0 time frame. They should be in the 2

to 4 range.

Maximum heating rates in the vicinity of B.P. 7694 are presented in Figure 20.

The plot indicates that the REMTECH environment is too high. However, when

the Hi/H,, wind tunnel data base is examined, Figure 21, the Rockwell interference

factors appear low. The physical reason for the Hi/Hu data at this location being

high is not known, (T/C = 853 TFr-72) however, the heating level is low enough

that there is no TPS impact.

Rockwell environments for Body Points 7391 and 7395 are low with possible

TPS impact. A circumferential plot of maximum cold wall heating rate at approx-

imately XT = 2058 is presented in Figure 22. This plot shows the distribution of

environments in the vicinity of B.P.s 7931 and 7935. Body Point 7931 :_s located

immediately in front of the LH2 Feed Line. Heating would be expected to be high

due to the separation immediately upstream of a protuberance. The Hi/H_, data

base for this location was examined along with the interference factors tabulated

in the design environment. This is shown in Figure 23 for the Mach 3.0 and 4.00

results. Corresponding angles of attack and sideslip were obtained from the LWT

Trajectory and the interference factors from the REMTECH and Rockwell envi-

ronments plotted at these locations. The results show that the IVBC-3 data are

low. A similar investigation was carried out for B.P. 7935. The Hi/ttu versus

Beta data base (T/C 5051 Itt-97) is shown in Figure 24 along with the Rockwell

and REMTECH interference factors listed in the respective design environments.

The results show the Rockwell interference factor to be low at Mach 3.00, but in

agreement with the tLEMTECH factor at Mach 4.00.

CONCLUSIONS

Ascent thermal design environments were generated at 367 acreage body point

locations on the External Tank. These represented an independent set of calcula-

tions and served as a check on the Rockwell IVBC-3 set of design environments

used to design the ascent phase of flight. Direct one on one comparisons were made

between Rockwell and REMTECH. Of the 367 location investigated, 30 Were ques-

tionable requiring in depth analysis. Of these 30 only three represented a possible

TPS impact. These are B.P.s 7355 on the intertank and 7931, 7935 on the LIt2

Tank. At these locations, the Rockwell environments are considered low and need

to be revisited.
