“…Hence, low-fidelity tools have been introduced to mitigate the cost by using analytical approximations of aerodynamic and aerothermodynamic parameters but these tools come at the cost of increased uncertainty. In-general, re-entry analysis codes can be classified into two categories [4], (a) object-oriented [5,6,7,8,9,10] and (b) spacecraft-oriented [11,12]. The object-oriented approach is characterised by approximating the spacecraft model and its components into a set of primitive elements like spheres, cylinders and flat plates, essentially reducing the modelling complexity.…”
