Applying Bayesian Inference to Estimate Uncertainties in the Aerodynamic Database of CALLISTO

Abstract

The three national space centers DLR, CNES & JAXA have joined their efforts in the project CALLISTO to develop and mature key technologies for future operational Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLVs). The goal of this project is to develop, manufacture and test a reusable Vertical-Takeoff Vertical-Landing (VTVL) first stage demonstrator, which will be operated at the European Spaceport in French Guiana from late 2024.
