Dragonfly Entry Aerosciences Measurements (DrEAM), will provide key aerothermodynamic data and performance analysis for Dragonfly’s forebody and backshell Thermal Protection System (TPS). Titan's atmosphere predominantly consists of nitrogen (~ 98% by mole) with small amounts of methane (~ 2% by mole). CN is a strong radiator and is found in nonequilibrium concentrations for Titan entry, the...
In collaboration with NASA Ames and Langley, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is advancing the development of a specialized instrumentation suite for NASA’s Dragonfly mission to Titan. This suite, known as the Dragonfly Entry Aerosciences Measurements (DrEAM), is designed to provide critical aerothermodynamic data and performance analysis for the Thermal Protection System (TPS) of the...
