A major contributor to the overall vehicle mass of re-entry vehicles is the afterbody thermal protection system. This is due to the large acreage (equal or bigger than that of the forebody) to be protected. The present predictive capabilities for bas

The current uncertainty levels for afterbody (base) aeroheating are very large for capsule like (re)entry vehicles. The design margin on missions have traditionally ranged up to 200% of CFD predictions. These uncertainties can be attributed to a lack
