Hypersonic Flight Testing Using Stratospheric Balloons
This technology is a novel test technique for characterizing entry vehicle dynamics via stratospheric balloon-dropped, free-flight testing. It uses stratospheric balloons to test hypersonic vehicles. This technique allows the vehicles to achieve hypersonic speeds through a combination of free fall and acceleration via rocket boosters after the drop....
