ABSTRACT

This paper deals with the computational analysis of aerodynamics of space vehicle entering the Earth’s atmosphere (from the free-molecular regime to the continuum flow regime) in rarefied gas flow. The use of approximate engineering methods is the most favorable approach to solve problems of spacecraft aerodynamics at the stage of conceptual design. In this paper present the calculation results of aerodynamic characteristics of new generation space vehicle in free molecular, the transitional and continuum regimes by using engineering method. This method may useful to calculate aerodynamic characteristics of new generation space vehicle designs.
