T406-12MP<br />

Preparation of an electrodynamic-heatshield flight experiment<br />

It is the objective of the present work to prepare a flight demonstration experiment by looking into the available magnet<br />

technology with regard to technical performance and cost consideration and by performing preliminary on-ground tests. The<br />

boundary conditions imposed by a reentry capsule and its launch vehicle shall be taken into account. The focus of this work<br />

will deal with the coil section (nose of the capsule), which must contain the supercon<strong>du</strong>cting coil and its magnetic screen.<br />

Title:<br />

Advanced Methods for Hypersonic plasma - flow control<br />

The objective of the present proposal is to advance new techniques to control the flow within the hypersonic shock layer of<br />

space transportation systems entering planets or re-entering earth at hypersonic speeds. A promising very innovative concept<br />

is the one of controlling the flow pattern through electro-magnetic forces acting on the ionized component of the flow impacting<br />

the vehicle.<br />

This electro – magnetic interaction of the flow could potentially:<br />

• Re<strong>du</strong>ce locally the heat flux via shock standoff increase.<br />

• Increase wave drag thereby also re<strong>du</strong>ce heat load <strong>du</strong>e to re<strong>du</strong>ction of ballistic coefficient.<br />

• Be used to control the flow for stability and trimming resulting in simplification or elimination of RCS.<br />

• Manipulate black out periods and therefore optimize communication links.<br />

The purpose is to build up further on recent advances made in the HEAT and L2K facilities and to take advantage of the<br />

ongoing associated activities within the CIRA CAST and DLR programmes.<br />

The following activities are proposed :<br />

• Small scale experiments in HEAT and L2K thereby augmenting their expertise in this field including numerical rebuilding.<br />

• Developments of associated intrusive and non intrusive diagnostic measurement for later use in SCIROCCO.<br />

• Preparatory activities for SCIROCCO testing compatible with CAST.<br />

• Study on potential system impact for possible future application and in flight demonstration.<br />
