During this technology > demonstration test flight, NASA's IRVE-3 payload will try to re-enter > Earth's atmosphere at hypersonic speeds -- Mach 5, or 3,800 mph to > 7,600 mph. > > "As we investigate new ways to bring cargo back to Earth from the > International Space Station and innovative ways to land larger > payloads safely on Mars, it's clear we need to invest in new > technologies that will enable these goals," said Michael Gazarik, > director of NASA's Space Technology Program. "IRVE-3 is precisely the > sort of cross-cutting technology NASA's Space Technology Program > should mature to make these future NASA and commercial space > endeavors possible." > > The IRVE-3 experiment will fly aboard a three-stage Black Brant XI > launch vehicle for its suborbital flight. The payload and the heat > shield, which looks like a large, uninflated cone of inner tubes, > will be packed inside the rocket's 22-inch-diameter nose cone. About > six minutes after launch, the rocket will climb to an altitude of > about 280 miles over the Atlantic Ocean. > > At that point, the 680-pound IRVE-3 will separate from the rocket. An > inflation system similar to air tanks used by scuba divers will pump > nitrogen gas into the IRVE-3 aeroshell until it becomes almost 10 > feet in diameter. Instruments on board, including pressure sensors > and heat flux gauges, as well as cameras, will provide data to > engineers on the ground of how well the inflated heat shield performs > during the force and heat of entry into Earth's atmosphere. > > After its flight, IRVE-3 will fall into the Atlantic Ocean about 350 > miles down range from Wallops. From launch to splash down, the flight > is expected to take approximately 20 minutes. > > "We originally came up with this concept because we'd like to be able > to land more mass and access higher altitudes on Mars," said Neil > Cheatwood, IRVE-3 principal investigator at NASA's Langley Research > Center in Hampton, Va. "To do so you need more drag. We're seeking to > maximize the drag area of the entry system. We want to make it as big > as we can. The limitation with current technology has been the launch > vehicle diameter." > > Cheatwood and a team of NASA engineers and technicians have spent the > last three years addressing the technical challenges of materials > withstanding the heat created by atmospheric entry and preparing for > the IRVE-3 flight. The team has studied designs, assessed materials > in laboratories and wind tunnels, and subjected hardware to thermal > and pressure loads beyond what the inflatable spacecraft technology > should face during flight. > > This test is a follow on to the successful IRVE-2, which showed an > inflatable heat shield could survive intact after coming through > Earth's atmosphere. IRVE-3 is the same size as IRVE-2, but has a > heavier payload and will be subjected to a much higher reentry heat. > > IRVE-3 is part of the Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator > (HIAD) Project within the Game Changing Development Program, part of > NASA's Space Technology Program.
