Design, Development, Testing, and In-Flight Qualification of a Parachute Recovery System

Abstract: Development of aerodynamic decelerators for aerospace applications is rather a complex and challenging endeavor, and it is even more so when it has to be conceived for winged systems to be recovered off their flight in supersonic conditions. In the case of the Centro Italiano Ricerche Aerospaziali unmanned space vehicle Polluce, a somewhat revolutionary approach was adopted for acquisition of the parachute recovery system, based upon adoption of a terminal area energy management strategy and the use of a compl… Show more

“…Robert E Meyerson [6] developed a drag parachute for space shuttle orbiter and tested it in a wind tunnel, the flight test of which was carried out in 2001. Ken Heinde et al [7] developed parachute tests for a missile descent system in 1999, G Guidotti et al [8] designed, developed, tested, and carried out in-flight qualification of a Parachute Recovery System in 2012 . John C Gallon et al [9] did verification and validation testing of the parachute decelerator system prior to the first supersonic flight dynamics test for the low density supersonic decelerator program in 2015.…”
