When a spacecraft transitions from the vacuum of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to the searing heat of atmospheric re-entry, thermal management is the difference between mission success and total loss. Join us for an in-depth webinar exploring advanced transient thermal modeling techniques for high-velocity descent. 

Featuring a real-world application of the Inflatable Atmospheric Decelerator (IAD) by ATMOS Space Cargo GmbH, we demonstrate how to predict extreme heating environments for reusable spacecraft. Wil will walk through the 20-minute re-entry descent, spanning both hypersonic and supersonic regimes. Attendees will gain insight into how TAITherm/MuSES and CoTherm accurately predict heat flux, surface temperatures, and internal payload conditions through automated setup of radiation, conduction, and convection.

Key Takeaways:

• Precision Modeling: Use MuSES and CoTherm to accurately predict thermal conditions prior to re-entry.
• Trajectory Optimization: Learn how to optimize re-entry trajectories to minimize the thermal load on critical components.
• Payload Security: Ensure internal components remain within safe operating limits.
• Automated Physics: See how hypersonic and supersonic convective heating correlations are automatically applied to 3D geometry.

Who should attend:

• Aerospace and Spacecraft Thermal Engineers seeking high fidelity in transient analysis.
• Systems Engineers tasked with return from orbit  missions.
• Thermal Design Engineers developing automated workflows.
• Space Industry Professionals focused on LEO operation and payload return.
