Book Notes on Earth Atmospheric Entry for Mars Sample Return Missions

Download or read book Notes on Earth Atmospheric Entry for Mars Sample Return Missions written by National Aeronautics Administration and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been interest in obtaining gas, dust, rocks, or soil samples from comets or nearby planets since the beginning of the space age in the 1950s. Flying a spacecraft to the destination and returning a sample in an Earth entry vehicle can accomplish this. The return spacecraft is called a sample return vehicle (SRV). Detailed studies of Martian samples can only be conducted on Earth. In the past decade there have been many studies investigating the feasibility and practicalities of sample return missions to Mars Samples collected on Mars will be sealed in a special capsule to prevent contamination. An ascent vehicle will launch the capsule from the surface of Mars. There are several ways to return the sample to Earth. One way is to use a Mars orbiter to capture the sample container and then begin an interplanetary trajectory to return the sample to Earth. This document is concerned with the Earth entry environment and the Earth entry portion of a sample return mission to the planet Mars. The document is intended to introduce the subject of atmospheric entry to engineers and scientists who do not have strong backgrounds in aerodynamics, aerothermodynamics and flight mechanics. Much of this material can be applied to entry into other planetary atmospheres by using the appropriate atmospheric and gravity models. This document discusses topics in atmospheric entry and presents examples in related disciplines.

Download or read book Notes on Earth Atmospheric Entry for Mars Sample Return Missions written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The entry of sample return vehicles (SRVs) into the Earth's atmosphere is the subject of this document. The Earth entry environment for vehicles, or capsules, returning from the planet Mars is discussed along with the subjects of dynamics, aerodynamics, and heat transfer. The material presented is intended for engineers and scientists who do not have strong backgrounds in aerodynamics, aerothermodynamics and flight mechanics. The document is not intended to be comprehensive and some important topics are omitted. The topics considered in this document include basic principles of physics (fluid mechanics, dynamics and heat transfer), chemistry and engineering mechanics. These subjects include: a) fluid mechanics (aerodynamics, aerothermodynamics, compressible fluids, shock waves, boundary layers, and flow regimes from subsonic to hypervelocity; b) the Earth s atmosphere and gravity; c) thermal protection system design considerations; d) heat and mass transfer (convection, radiation, and ablation); e) flight mechanics (basic rigid body dynamics and stability); and f) flight- and ground-test requirements; and g) trajectory and flow simulation methods.

Book Aerodynamic and Aerothermodynamic Analysis of Space Mission Vehicles

Download or read book Aerodynamic and Aerothermodynamic Analysis of Space Mission Vehicles written by Antonio Viviani and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting an up-to-date view on the most important space vehicle configurations, this book contains detailed analyses for several different type of space mission profiles while considering important factors such as aerodynamic loads, aerodynamic heating, vehicle stability and landing characteristics. With that in mind, the authors provide a detailed overview on different state-of-the-art themes of hypersonic aerodynamics and aerothermodynamics, and consider different space vehicle shapes useful for different space mission objectives. These include: · Crew Return Vehicle (CRV) · Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) · Sample Return Vehicle (SRV) · Flying Test Bed (FTB). Throughout Aerodynamic and Aerothermodynamic Analysis of Space Mission Vehicles many examples are given, with detailed computations and results for the aerodynamics and aerothermodynamics of all such configurations. Moreover, a final chapter on future launchers is provided and an Appendix on a possible manned mission to Mars closes the book. This work can be used as a reference for modelling and design techniques, for students intending to enter aerospace industrial careers, and to support both academics and engineers working in the field of space vehicle design. This book has been awarded the Basic Science Book award 2016 by the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), presented during the 67th International Astronautical Congress (IAC2016) held in September 2016 in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Download or read book Rarefied Gas Dynamics written by Andrew D. Ketsdever and published by American Institute of Physics. This book was released on 2003-05-19 with total page 1118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in these proceedings were peer reviewed. The RGD Symposia are highly inter-disciplinary and encompass all aspects of rarefaction and non-equilibrium phenomena in gases. Rarefied flow phenomena include the mechanics and physics of low density gases and the analysis of flows which take place on a spatial scale comparable to the mean free path of a gas. Topics covered include: Kinetic theory and transport theory; numerical methods including direct simulation Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics; gas-surface phenomena; nano- and microscale flows; molecular beams, atom and molecular optics; clusters and aerosols; external flows including space and vacuum technologies; plume flows; hypersonic flows; molecular collision dynamics; relaxation processes; ionized gas flows; physics of the space environment; plasma processing; experimental techniques; diagnostics including laser induced fluorescence and electron beams; applications. With the increase in space activities and microfabrication capabilities, new themes have emerged including rarefied hypersonic flows, non-equilibrium gases, plasma processing, nano- and micro-scale flows at relatively high pressures, along with parallel and hybrid computational developments. Because the RGD Symposia are recognized as the principle forum for the presentation of recent advances in this field, it is a must for engineers and scientists in a variety of specialties.
