Book excerpt: An investigation was conducted to obtain flow properties in the wake of the Viking '75 entry vehicle at mach numbers from 1.60 to 3.95 and at angles of attack of 0 deg and 5 deg. The wake flow properties were calculated from total and static pressures measured with a pressure rake at longitudinal stations varying from 1.0 to 8.39 body diameters and lateral stations varying from -0.42 to 3.0 body diameters. These measurements showed a consistent trend throughout the range of mach numbers and longitudinal distances and an increase in dynamic pressure with increasing downstream position.
