Shock wave encountered by Hermes on re-entry
Computer-aided aerodynamic simulation of Hermes encountering a shockwave as it travels at Mach 25 through the upper atmosphere during re-entry. Hermes,the European Space Agency's re-usable spaceplane,will be 15 metre long with an 11 metre wingspan. Its launch weight of 22 tonnes will include 3 crew members & a 3 tonne payload. It will be placed in low earth orbit by an Ariane 5 rocket. The first (unmanned) test flight is scheduled for 1998. Two Hermes are to be built; each is expected to undergo 30 orbital flights
