Problems in Atmosphere Entry from Parabolic Orbits

Up to the present time we have been concerned with sending small instrumented probes into interplanetary space and larger bodies into near-earth satellite orbits. Only recently we have begun to recover intact some of these orbiting bodies and soon we will carry on this program to the recovery of manned satellites. In the not-too-distant future we will be concerned with transit to and from the moon and the planets. It is with the problems of entry into our atmosphere of these higher speed vehicles that this paper will be concerned.

A Tension Shell Structure for Application to Entry Vehicles

The shape of a shell of revolution designed t o have only tensile stresses under axisymmetric aerodynamic loadings has been derived on the basis of linear membrane theory. values of circumferential tension is also given. The results of this paper indicate that the design of an entry vehicle based on the tension shell concept leads to desirable aerodynamic and structural characteristics, namely, high drag and low weight.
