Integrated Trajectory, Atmosphere, and Aerothermal Reconstruction Methodology Using the Medli Dataset
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission’s instrumentation will enable accurate reconstruction of the vehicle’s entry, descent, and landing (EDL) performance including the trajectory, the observed atmosphere, aerodynamics, aeroheating, and heatshield material response. The objective of this paper is to develop methodologies for an integrated approach to the reconstruction of the vehicle’s EDL performance. Two estimation approaches are presented: Serial and Concurrent. The serial approach is demonstrated by application to the Mars Pathfinder flight data and estimating trajectory and aeroheating performance.

Trajectory Optimization for a Multistage Launch Vehicle Using Nonlinear Programming
This work is an example of application of nonlinear programming to a problem of three-dimensional trajectory optimization for multistage launch vehicles for geostationary orbit missions. The main objective is to minimize fuel consumption or equivalently to maximize the payload. The launch vehicle considered here, Europa-II, consists of 5 thrust phases and 2 coast phases. Major parameters of the...
متن کاملInvestigating the trajectory and amount of radioactive materials effluence in the atmosphere due to operation of Fars proposed research reactor
In this study, the trajectory and the concentration of radioactive nuclei in the atmosphere resulting from the Fars proposed research reactor innormal operation condition have been investigated. Since the reactor is in the conceptual design stage, so we use the characteristics of the Tehran research reactor, which is very similar to this reactor. Simulations were carried out for a one-year peri...
متن کاملCombined Sensor Assembly Comars+ for Exomars Edm Demonstrator
Based on experience gained during the successful hypersonic flight experiments SHEFEX-I and SHEFEX-II using a combined aerothermal sensor package, the DLR Supersonic and Hypersonic Technology Department developed a new aerothermal sensor called COMARS. In addition to static pressure, surface temperature and total heat flux rate the COMARS sensor is also able to measure radiative heat fluxes usi...
متن کاملPotential for Integrating Entry Guidance into the Multi-Disciplinary Entry Vehicle Optimization Environment
The state-of-the-art in vehicle design decouples flight feasible trajectory generation from the optimization process of an entry spacecraft shape. The disadvantage to this decoupled process is seen when a particular aeroshell does not meet in-flight requirements when integrated into Guidance, Navigation, and Control simulations. It is postulated that the integration of a guidance algorithm into...
متن کاملUnmanned aerial vehicle field sampling and antenna pattern reconstruction using Bayesian compressed sensing
Antenna 3D pattern measurement can be a tedious and time consuming task even for antennas with manageable sizes inside anechoic chambers. Performing onsite measurements by scanning the whole 4π [sr] solid angle around the antenna under test (AUT) is more complicated. In this paper, with the aim of minimum duration of flight, a test scenario using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is proposed. A pr...
