  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. Presented here are two techniques designed for use in superorbital expansion tube test facilities. Holographic interferometry has been used to measure shock shapes and density variations over a range of models. A new technique, laser-enhanced ionization velocimetry (LETV), has been developed and tested in a low enthalpy facility and will shortly be implemented in the superorbital tunnel.
