Computation of Aerodynamic load on Protuberance over Satellite Launch Vehicle at Supersonic Speed

Three dimensional supersonic ow analysis over a satellite vehicle launcher

The ever-widening applications of numerical calculations leads to a variety of new numerical methods, which are di erent in their solution algorithms as well as in the discretization of the governing equations. Despite this development, much work still remains in their improvement towards a fast, accurate and stable convergence. This work shows a numerical method for the solution of compressibl...

Unsteady Aerodynamic Simulations of a Finned Projectile at a Supersonic Speed With Jet Interaction

Self-configuring Network for Launch Vehicle and Satellite Avionics

Under an Air Force Phase II SBIR contract, Microcosm is developing a self-configuring avionics network, scheduled for test on a sounding rocket in late 2003 or early 2004. This system is extendable to spacecraft avionics and housekeeping functions, enabling true plug-and-play capability.

Launch-pad Abort Flight Envelope Computation for a Personnel Launch Vehicle Using Reachability

The main limitation of existing computational tools for continuous system reachability problems is that, due to the exponential growth of the computation with the dimension of the continuous state space, the tools can be applied effectively to relatively low dimensional problems (typically 1-4 dimensions). In this paper we adopt a two time scale approach to extend the use of continuous system r...
