SPACECRAFT UTILIZING THE LIFTING AND BALLISTIC REENTRY TECHNIQUES. PART II. REVIEW OF THEORETICAL STUDIES IN LIFTING AND BALLISTIC REENTRY,

Abstract

Contents: (A) High-speed aerodynamics and gas dynamics (supersonic and hypersonic aerodynamics; radiation, dissociation, ionization, relaxation; boundary layer; shock waves; optimum aerodynamic shapes); (B) High-speed aerothermodynamics (aerodynamic heating; protection against aerodynamic heating; experimental studies and equipment); (C) High-speed flight mechanics (space vehicle descent; spacecraft motion and control; ballistic and power-flight trajectories; meteorite hazards); (D) Strength of flight-vehicle components (thin and sandwich plates and shells) (general theories of strength; static strength; dynamic strength of plates and shells); (E) Miscellaneous. An annotated bibliography (94 pages and 241 entries) is included.
