Test and evaluation of pressure transducers for a reentry vehicle pressure measurement systemThe Pressure Distribution and Air Data System experiment was designed to obtain accurate pressure measurements on the windward surface of an aeroassist flight research vehicle during its aeropass through the earth's atmosphere. These pressure measurements were intended to provide air data and support CFD code validation for future aeroassist orbital transfer vehicle designs. The system consisted of a flush orifice configuration connected by tubing to a specially ranged and selected pressure transducer. The purpose of this paper is to describe the flight acceptance test program and test results leading to the selection of flight transducers.
