The VISC code is a computer automated scheme for solving the equations describing the fully coupled viscous, radiating flow at the stagnation-point of a blunt body which may or may not be ablating. The code provides a basis for obtaining prediction of the stagnation-point heating to a body entering any planetary atmosphere at hyperbolic velocities. The code is written in FORTRAN V and is operational on both the Univac 1108 (EXEC 8) system and the CDC 7600 system. The report gives an overview of the VISC code computational logic flow, a description of the input requirements and output results and comments on the practical use of the code. As such the report forms a users manual for operation of the VISC code.
