More about the LS(1)-0413 [GA(W)-2]:

The NASA LS(1)-0413 listed are the original coordinates from the report NASA TM X-74018, which also includes original coordinates for the LS(1)-0413MOD. The report NASA TM X-72697, which covers the GA(W)-2 tunnel tests, only includes the coordinates measured off the model. Finally, the LS(1)-0413 coordinates listed in NASA-CR-145139 in August 1976 appear to be wrong.
