Propagation Path of Radio Waves in Nonequilibrium Reentry Plasma Around a Nanosatellite With an Inflatable Aeroshell

A communication blackout is one of the major problems that occurs during reentry a satellite into Earth’s atmosphere, which caused by plasma blocking electromagnetic waves near for telecommunication. Moreover, it prevents tracking and data transmission, resulting in inaccurate prediction landing sites loss. Therefore, there necessity to evaluate propagation mitigate blackout. An inflatable aeroshell technology with lightweight large-area features enables aerodynamic drag at high altitudes reduce heating blackouts. Thus, nanosatellite mission using such an has been proposed. For purpose telecommunication possibilities future missions, detailed investigation mitigation required. In present article, flow wave atmospheric were revealed computational science approach. low-temperature low-density wake formed behind nanosatellite. path wake, indicating this maintained reentry, no when deployable
