Popis: | The High-Speed Flight Demonstration (HSFD) project is the latest in a series of flight experiments in a research program into reusable space transportation systems being conducted by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). The project consists of two phases which use sub-scale demonstrators based on the HOPE-X (H-2 Orbiting Plane, Experimental) winged re-entry vehicle configuration. Phase 1 uses a vehicle that operates from a conventional runway to verify an approach and landing system for the final part of the return phase of a winged reentry vehicle, while Phase 2 was a drop test from a stratospheric balloon to clarify the transonic aerodynamic characteristics of the HOPE-X configuration and to obtain data to validate wind tunnel tests and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) predictions. The Phase 1 and Phase 2 vehicles are built from a common set of core components to reduce costs. The Phase 1 flight experiment was completed successfully in 2002. The first Phase 2 flight was conducted at the Esrange test site in Sweden in July 2003 in collaboration with Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales of France (CNES), which developed and operated the balloon system. Although the experiment had to be discontinued after an anomaly of the recovery system resulted in damage to the vehicle, flight test data were obtained at Mach 0.8, and fully autonomous flight control technologies for the transonic speed region were demonstrated. The data obtained from the HSFD project are expected to provide essential information for development of future reusable space transportation systems. 資料番号: AA0047944004 レポート番号: JAXA-RM-04-009 |
