Pressure Response Calibration System for Checking Re-Entry Pressure Models in the 50 Megawatt Rent.

摘要

The survivability of ballistic missile nose tips is essential and germane to the national defense. The optimum design of the nose tip shapes must be aided by simulated realistic operational ground testing, which is performed in the 50 Megawatt (MW) Re-Entry Nose Tip (RENT) Facility. Accurate and efficient pressure measurements of flight simulation in the facility require knowing the response of a pressure model before it is tested in the RENT facility. This report is the culmination of the design and testing of a response tester which will be used for determining the response of various configurations of pressure model nose tips used in the 50 NW RENT Facility.
