Abstract:
This report describes the current re-entry vehicle parametric study program, based on the Allen and Eggers straight line trajectory assumptions. The heating analysis considers a nonreacting cold wall, with the inclusion of a moving boundary conduction solution and boundary layer transition. The quantities determined are ablation thicknesses, insulation thicknesses, vehicle weight and aero dynamic coefficients, for varying shape, material and trajectory parameters. The computer output consists only of final integrated values rather than step-by-step computations along the trajectory.
