Quantitative emission spectroscopy for superorbital reentry in expansion tube X2

A superorbital reentry flow was realized in the X2 expansion tunnel of the Centre for Hypersonics of the University of Queensland, resulting in measurements of electronic excitation temperature, electron density, and particle densities of neutral and ionized atomic nitrogen and oxygen. A rectangular...
