Improved Modeling Of Atmospheric Entry For Meteors With Nose Radii Between 5cm And 10m, Jakob Dale Brisby
Masters Theses
Atmospheric entry studies typically look closely at the peak heating rate that a body encounters during its trajectory. This is an extremely important phenomenon to study because it allows engineers to determine if a trajectory is possible with given materials and craft design specifications. It also allows designers to choose what type of method will be used for mitigating the enormous heat fluxes during entry. In general, it is accepted that during the super-sonic flight regime the body will continue to be heated and an ablative heat shield often is used to deal with these heating processes. The theory outlined …

Development Of A Database For Rapid Approximation Of Spacecraft Radiation Dose During Jupiter Flyby, Sarah Gilbert Stewart
Masters Theses
Interplanetary and deep space missions greatly benefit from the utilization of gravitational assists to reach their final destinations. By closely “swinging by” a planet, a spacecraft can gain or lose velocity or change directions without requiring any expenditure of propulsion. In today’s budget-driven design environment, gravity assist flybys reduce the need for on-board fuel and propulsion systems, thereby reducing overall cost, increasing payload and mission capacity, increasing mission life, and decreasing travel time. It is expected that many future missions will also be designed to swing by Jupiter in order to utilize a gravity assist. However, there is a risk …
