UNM to play key role in NASA s Advanced Computational Center for Entry System Simulation: UNM Newsroom

Entry, descent, and landing technologies are critical to placing large payloads on other planets such as Mars. As a spacecraft enters an atmosphere of a planet such as Earth or Mars, collisions with the atmospheric atoms and molecules generate very high temperature in the leading edge of the entry vehicle. To protect from the extreme heat, it is necessary to cover the vehicle with a thermal protection system, which consists of lightweight tiles that resist heat. Accurate modeling and simulation of atmospheric entry systems are critical and must continue to improve as part of the design and planning of these missions.

CU Boulder Leads $15 Million NASA Project To Better Protect Spacecraft

CU Boulder Leads $15 Million NASA Project To Better Protect Spacecraft CBS Denver 2 days ago Syndicated Local – CBS Denver BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4) – Researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder will lead a new $15 million NASA project focused on protecting spacecraft. Research through the Advanced Computational Center for Entry System Simulation will explore how engineers can shield space capsules as they enter atmospheres at speeds of up to 17,000 miles per hour. © Provided by CBS Denver Artist’s depiction of the spacecraft containing NASA’s Perseverance rover entering the Martian atmosphere.

BOULDER Researchers at the University of Colorado will head up the new $15-million, five-year NASA Advanced Computational Center for Entry System Simulation project, which seeks to “improve entry, descent and landing technologies for exploring other planets,” according to a CU news release.  The project is led by CU engineering professor Iain Boyd and involves partners at the University of Illinois, University of Minnesota Twin Cities, University of Kentucky and the University of New Mexico. “We are thrilled to have this opportunity to work in partnership with colleagues across the country on the incredibly challenging and important problem of hypersonic entry system analysis for NASA,” Boyd said in the release.
