Experimental non-equilibrium radiation measurements for low-Earth orbit return
This paper reports on absolute radiation measurements performed in synthetic air (20.78% O2, 79.22% N2) shock-heated flows. Experiments were carried out in the Oxford T6 Stalker Tunnel in Aluminium Shock Tube mode. Data is presented for velocities ranging from 5.5-7.2 km/s at a nominal 1 bar post-sh...
