This project focuses on understanding the physics of space vehicle entry into planetary atmospheres at high speeds. It aims to improve thermal shield designs by analyzing heat transfer mechanisms, which is crucial for ensuring the safety and success of space missions.
One of the major technological challenges associated with the access to planetary surfaces is the entry of the space vehicle in the planetary atmospheres at superorbital speeds.
The problem is the very large heat released to the vehicle surface by the surrounding gas either as convective heating or as radiation.
Optimization of the thermal shield design can have a profound impact on the overall mission mass, volume (and therefore energy and cost) budgets.
However, a poor knowledge of the physics…
