Synergistic Numerical and Experimental Investigations of Dynamic Stability of a Lifting Capsule

What is it about?

Re-entry lifting capsules are necessary to recover living materials from space for its moderate deceleration. Capsule configurations are dynamically unstable, and their characteristics were investigated by synergistic works of wind tunnel testing and numerical simulation. The results were validated by comparison with reconstructed flight of a successfully flied capsule.
