Description

More and more objects are present in space, but what happens to them when entering the atmosphere? With the exponentially increasing number of satellites, it is essential to minimize the risk of falling elements in habited areas. To best predict what happen, it is necessary to predict with the highest accuracy the behavior of objects during their atmospheric reentry and destruction. Models exist for this, but observation and measurement in real conditions are not yet available. To this end, within the leagacy of the development of capsules from the Space Case family[1] [2], developed for different experiments in flight and calibration of multiphysical models, a version named KLARA is being developed in cooperation with CNES. This effort directly supports the needs identified in the CNES roadmap in the frame of the validation of DEBRISK /PAMPERO certification tool
