Aerodynamic Heating on a Multi-Hundred Watt Heat Source Based on Wind Tunnel Tests.

Abstract

The General Electric Space Division conducted aerodynamic heating tests of the multi-hundred watt heat source configuration of the NASA Mariner-Jupiter/Saturn spacecraft. Curve fit approximations of the data were obtained so that aerodynamic heating studies with any angle of attack history can be performed in a simple manner. Characteristics of theoretical and semi-empirical results for the type of configuration were utilized in obtaining the approximations due to some discrepancies in the data. (Author)
