| 内容記述 | A new technique has been developed to enhance the use of upper atmosphere aerobraking for increased performance from orbital transfer vehicles. This technique utilizes a pressure supported drag brake and the orbital transfer vehicle main engine to modulate aerodynamic drag and also to alleviate the aerodynamic heating during a grazing pass through the atmosphere. Performance analyses of vehicles utilizing all-propulsive or aerobraking during round trip missions from low earth orbit (LEO) to geo-synchronous earth orbit (GEO) and back shows that aerobraking allows a given vehicle to deliver approximately twice as much payload to GEO and return. Aerobraking also provides more than twice the round trip payload. |
