  1. 195. Entry modelling and instrumentation: impacts to aerothermal research
    Dr Aaron Brandis (NASA Ames Research Center)
    24/09/2026, 14:30
    Entry, Descent, and Landing Instrumentation

    Introduction

    The Entry Modeling & Instrumentation (EM&I) portfolio develops validated models, tools, and flight‑ and ground‑test data to improve reliability assessments and design margins for planetary and Earth‑return entry systems. Integrating three tightly coupled components: Entry Systems Modeling, Entry Science Investigation, and Flight Test & Instrumentation. EM&I provides an...

    Entry, Descent, and Landing Instrumentation

    Background of the Study
    Aerocapture is a flight manoeuvre to enable orbit insertion by using the atmosphere to decelerate a spacecraft more mass efficiently than a typically used orbit insertion burn. The flight manoeuvre is of particular interest for missions to the ice giant planets as it could significantly reduce the interplanetary travel time.
    However, aerocapture was never...

  3. 222. Spectroscopy measurements on the KREPE-2 and KREPE-3 hypersonic flight experiments
    Alexandre Martin (University of Kentucky)
    24/09/2026, 16:00
    Ablative-Radiative TPS and Meteors

    The Kentucky Re-Entry Universal Payload System (KRUPS) is a university-led program that designs, tests, and flies instrumented orbital re-entry capsules that return flight data for the validation of atmospheric entry models. KREPE-2 successfully demonstrated onboard spectroscopy using a Hamamatsu C12880MA mini-spectrometer coupled to the stagnation region of the thermal protection system,...
