Abstract

This dissertation presents an overview of work performed in maturing a particular type of deployable heat shield. The activities included the design and execution of a Plasma Wind Tunnel test to demonstrate the capability of the proposed capsule to survive the re-entry environment. A particular focus has been reserved to the study of the problem of dynamic stability. In particular aero-thermodynamic analysis have been conducted to characterize the dynamic response in the supersonic, transonic and subsonic regime by applying the forced-oscillation method through Computational Fluid Dynamics. The output of these analysis has been used in a six degree of freedom simulator to study the oscillating behavior during a re-entry trajectory. The last part of this work has been dedicated to study the controllability of these systems to reach the desired landing site in the case of re-entry from space, with the focus on landing dispersion minimization. In particular a means of controlling a mechanically deployable capsule during the re-entry phase using an aerodynamic control system and a new technological solution for re-entering and landing a capsule in a desired location from a low Earth orbit without the use of chemical propulsion have been proposed.
