Abstract: The Space Launch System (SLS) ascent aeroacoustic environments provide the externally driven noise levels predicted for vehicle ascent during transonic and supersonic flight, and serve as an important input for component and secondary structure vibroacoustic design criteria. This aerodynamically induced noise is predominantly generated by unsteady flow within the local boundary layer due to free stream interaction with the outer mold line (OML). Additional sources are shear flow interactions,…
