Aninvestigation was made to determinethe drang and stability characteristics of spheres, conical rings, cones, and modified cones when towed in the wake of several space-vehicle configurations. The tests were made over a Mach number range of 1.57 to 4.65 with variation in the following parameters:Reynolds number, trailing distance, ratio of decelerator base diameter to space-vehicle base diameter, cone angle, and size of diskadded to the base of a cone.
