Overview of shuttle data on densityThe HiRAP (High Resolution Accelerometer Package) used on the Shuttle is described and examples of flight-derived density-altitude profiles are compared to the 1976 Standard Atmosphere. By flying an accelerometer along with a mass spectrometer it is possible to obtain the drag coefficients for the Shuttle. However, problems may arise due to contamination in the near-shuttle environment.
