Aerodynamic and Aerothermodynamic Appraisal of the CIRA High-Lift Re-entry Vehicle

摘要

@@ In the frame of the Italian Aerospace Research Programme, a trade-off analysis is going on in order to define the geometry and the mission profile of the national re-entry Unmanned Space Vehicle USV-3. Such a vehicle will have to be carried on low Earth orbit with the VEGA launcher and shall re-enter the atmosphere allowing to perform a number of experiments on critical re-entry technologies.
