The Radiative Gas Dynamics of Spacecraft in the Martian Atmosphere
Surzhikov, S. T.
The problems of the radiative gas dynamics of the Martian space vehicles MSRO, Pathfinder, and Exomars-2016 are solved using the author's custom NERAT-2D radiative-gasdynamic code. The cause of considerable heating of the rear surface of the spacecraft by heat radiation in the Martian atmosphere is studied. Calculation studies of the spectral comp…
Gas Dynamic Models of the Interaction between the Solar Wind and Cometary Atmospheres
Baranov, V. B.
Gas dynamic models of the interaction between the solar wind and cometary atmospheres are considered. Interest in the development of such models arose sharply after the beginning of the investigations of comets with the use of spacecraft launched at distances close to their surfaces. The instruments on this spacecraft gave the possibility to inves…
