The Shuttle Upper Atmosphere Mass Spectrometer (SUMS), a |
|
component experiment of the NASA Orbital Experiments |
|
Program (OEX), was flown aboard the shuttle Columbia |
|
(OV102) mounted at the forward end of the nose landing |
|
gear well with an atmospheric gas inlet system fitted to |
|
the lower fuselage (chin panel) surface. The SUMS was |
|
designed to provide atmospheric data in flow regimes |
|
inaccessible prior to the development of the Space |
|
Transportation System (STS). The experiment mission |
|
operation begins about 1 hour prior to shuttle de-orbit |
|
entry maneuver and continues until reaching 1.6 torr |
|
(about 86 km altitude). The SUMS flew a total of three |
|
missions, 61C, STS-35, and STS-40. Between flights, the |
|
SUMS was maintained in flight ready status. The flight |
|
data has been analyzed by the NASA LaRC |
|
Aerothermodynamics Branch. Flight data spectrum plots and |
|
reports are presented in the Appendices to the Final |
|
Technical Report for NAS1-17399. This volume presents |
|
spectral graphs of the reentry of flight STS-35. |
