| Description: |
Spacecraft undergoing atmospheric entry dissipates a vast amount heat, which must be shielded. A proposed concept is to employ a strong magnetic field using high-temperature superconductor (HTS) to reduce the direct interaction between the spacecraft and the plasma, thus lowering the heat load on the shields. In collaboration with German Aerospace Centre (DLR), the proof of concept will be investigated in the HEG shock tunnel, which can recreate flow conditions for hypersonic flight configurations Shock stand-off distance will be measured by the Schlieren imaging. This poster introduces the magnet design and the mechanical structures required for this study in the shock tunnel |
