  • Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis of Scaled Hypersonic Re-Entry Vehicles
    Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis of Scaled Hypersonic Re-Entry Vehicles A project presented to The Faculty of the Department of Aerospace Engineering San Jose State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering by Simon H.B. Sorensen March 2019 approved by Dr. Periklis Papadopoulous Faculty Advisor 1 i ABSTRACT With the advancement of technology in space, reusable re-entry space planes have become a focus point with their ability to save materials and utilize existing flight data. Their ability to not only supply materials to space stations or deploy satellites, but also in atmosphere flight makes them versatile in their deployment and recovery. The existing design of vehicles such as the Space Shuttle Orbiter and X-37 Orbital Test Vehicle can be used to observe the effects of scaling existing vehicle geometry and how it would operate in identical conditions to the full-size vehicle. These scaled vehicles, if viable, would provide additional options depending on mission parameters without losing the advantages of reusable re-entry space planes. 2 Table of Contents Abstract . i Nomenclature . .1 1.

  • A Pictorial History of Rockets
    he mighty space rockets of today are the result A Pictorial Tof more than 2,000 years of invention, experi- mentation, and discovery. First by observation and inspiration and then by methodical research, the History of foundations for modern rocketry were laid. Rockets Building upon the experience of two millennia, new rockets will expand human presence in space back to the Moon and Mars. These new rockets will be versatile. They will support Earth orbital missions, such as the International Space Station, and off- world missions millions of kilometers from home. Already, travel to the stars is possible. Robotic spacecraft are on their way into interstellar space as you read this. Someday, they will be followed by human explorers. Often lost in the shadows of time, early rocket pioneers “pushed the envelope” by creating rocket- propelled devices for land, sea, air, and space. When the scientific principles governing motion were discovered, rockets graduated from toys and novelties to serious devices for commerce, war, travel, and research. This work led to many of the most amazing discoveries of our time. The vignettes that follow provide a small sampling of stories from the history of rockets. They form a rocket time line that includes critical developments and interesting sidelines. In some cases, one story leads to another, and in others, the stories are inter- esting diversions from the path. They portray the inspirations that ultimately led to us taking our first steps into outer space. NASA’s new Space Launch System (SLS), commercial launch systems, and the rockets that follow owe much of their success to the accomplishments presented here.

    The New American Space Age: A PROGRESS REPORT ON HUMAN SpaCEFLIGHT The New American Space Age: A Progress Report on Human Spaceflight The International Space Station: the largest international scientific and engineering achievement in human history. The New American Space Age: A Progress Report on Human Spaceflight Lately, it seems the public cannot get enough of space! The recent hit movie “Gravity” not only won 7 Academy Awards – it was a runaway box office success, no doubt inspiring young future scientists, engineers and mathematicians just as “2001: A Space Odyssey” did more than 40 years ago. “Cosmos,” a PBS series on the origins of the universe from the 1980s, has been updated to include the latest discoveries – and funded by a major television network in primetime. And let’s not forget the terrific online videos of science experiments from former International Space Station Commander Chris Hadfield that were viewed by millions of people online. Clearly, the American public is eager to carry the torch of space exploration again. Thankfully, NASA and the space industry are building a host of new vehicles that will do just that. American industry is hard at work developing new commercial transportation services to suborbital altitudes and even low Earth orbit. NASA and the space industry are also building vehicles to take astronauts beyond low Earth orbit for the first time since the Apollo program. Meanwhile, in the U.S. National Lab on the space station, unprecedented research in zero-g is paving the way for Earth breakthroughs in genetics, gerontology, new vaccines and much more.

  • “From HL-20 to Dream Chaser” the Long Story of a Little Spaceplane
    “From HL-20 to Dream Chaser” The Long story of a little spaceplane Giuseppe De Chiara 19.11. 2012 All the drawings are copyright of the author Foreword (1/2) It’s not an easy task to track down the history of the development of the actual Dream Chaser spaceplane, since it started with Russian efforts almost 50 years ago. In origin, Russians started (as Americans) a lot of studies regarding lifting bodies as spacecraft’s architecture. In particular they launched the ambitious project Spiral OS 50/50 as response to the Boeing X-20 Dyna Soar, essentially it was a TSTO with a large Mach 4 mothership (to be developed by Sukhoi OKB) and a small single seat spaceplane launched atop (to be developed by MiG OKB). For the Spiral OS spacecraft Russians studied a peculiar lifting body configuration dubbed “Lapot” (a Russian term that means “wooden shoe” since the shape resembled it). As often happened in the history of US-USSR aerospace confrontation the withdraw of X-20 program (in 1963) didn’t ceased the Russian effort on its counterpart, even as low priority program. During the 70’s MiG OKB realized one full scale test demonstrator called MiG105-11 and tested it several times launched by a Tupolev Tu-95. During the first part of 80’s the Lapot concretized into a real spacecraft with the advent of the Bor-4 subscale unmanned program as forerunner for the ongoing Buran OS. The Bor-4 performed 4 spaceflights between 1982 and 1984, in particular the first flights were spotted by Australian P-3 Orion aircrafts made available to Western analyzer a lot of photos regarding this brand new spacecraft.

    Aerotecnica Missili & Spazio, The Journal of Aerospace Science, Technology and Systems Status and Perspectives of Hypersonic Systems and Technologies with Emphasis on the Role of Sub-Orbital Flight ∗ S. Chiesaa, G. Russob, M. Fioritia, S. Corpinoa a Politecnico di Torino Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering b AIDAA Sez. Napoletana c/o Department of Industrial Engineering \Federico II" - University of Naples Abstract The relevance and the main features of Hypersonic Flight are shortly presented and discussed. A synthetic overview of the few realisations and of many studies, projects and technological demonstrators offers opportunity of point out many interesting aspects. Then the more actual realisations and studies are considered, with particular attention to the new sector of small suborbital planes for Space Tourism. That gives opportunity of proposing a Road Map for an affordable and logic development of Hypersonic Flight, passing through the development of a suborbital Space Tourism plane on the basis of an existing subsonic business jet. Then the suborbital plane will constitute the basis of developing an Hypersonic Cruise Business Jet and, as a next step, a TSTO. 1. Introduction 2.

  • Design Evolution and AHP-Based Historiography of Lifting Reentry Vehicle Space Programs
    AIAA 2016-5319 AIAA SPACE Forum 13 - 16 September 2016, Long Beach, California AIAA SPACE 2016 Design Evolution and AHP-based Historiography of Lifting Reentry Vehicle Space Programs Loveneesh Rana∗ and Bernd Chudoba y University of Texas at Arlington, TX-76019-0018 The term \Historiography" is defined as the writing of history based on the critical examination of sources. In the context of space access systems, a considerable body of lit- erature has been published addressing the history of lifting-reentry vehicle(LRV) research. Many technical papers and books have surveyed legacy research case studies, technology development projects and vehicle development programs to document the evolution of hy- personic vehicle design knowledge gained from the early 1950s onwards. However, these accounts tend to be subjective and qualitative in their discussion of the significance and level of progress made. Even though the information addressed in these surveys is consid- ered crucial, it may lack qualitative or quantitative organization for consistently measuring the contribution of an individual program. The goal of this study is to provide an anatomy aimed at addressing and quantifying the contribution of legacy programs towards the evolution of the hypersonic knowledge base. This paper applies quantified analysis to legacy lifting-reentry vehicle programs, aimed at comprehensively capturing the evolution of LRV hypersonic knowledge base. Beginning with an overview of literature surveys focusing on hypersonic research programs, a com- prehensive list of LRV programs, starting from the 1933 Silvervogel to the 2015 Dream Chaser, is assembled. These case-studies are assessed on the basis of contribution made towards major hypersonic disciplines.
