The [http://ntrs.nasa.gov NASA technical reports server] supplies a large base of wind tunnel and in-situ performance data of both the mated launch vehicle and the orbiter, and the aerodynamics of the simulated shuttle is based on these documents. The authoritative source for procedures for trajectory management, instrumentation, limits and emergency procedures is the [https://www.nasa.gov/centers/johnson/pdf/390651main_shuttle_crew_operations_manual.pdf Space Shuttle Crew Operations Manual] and currently a normal mission, i.e. ascent, orbital insertion, de-orbit, entry, terminal area energy management and landing can be flown largely 'by the book', i.e. following the real procedure for CSS. As of May 2015, this does not yet hold for emergency procedures. | The [http://ntrs.nasa.gov NASA technical reports server] supplies a large base of wind tunnel and in-situ performance data of both the mated launch vehicle and the orbiter, and the aerodynamics of the simulated shuttle is based on these documents.
