Main characteristics of a ballistic Earth re-entry.Effective max. total heat flux is about 11.6MW/m2, max. velocity 12.3km/sec (47.5Mach), total heat energy about
250MJ/m2.
Challenges:The main challenges faced by a ballistic, Sample-Return
Vehicle are:
1.Ensure the entry phase of the ballistic trajectory and sustain the thermal and aerodynamical loads encountered during the entry until impact.
2. Protect the payload from heat and mechanical loads throughout the re-entry until impact on the ground
3. Comply with the planetary requirements, typically ensure sample container integrity until impact and guarantee sealing conditions at any time of the mission and under any circumstances.
Concept:Ballistic, passive return of a soil sample from another planetary body in a Sample-
Return Capsule, entering and aero-braking through the Earth’s atmosphere at high velocity.

FP7/SPACE/2419921/9/2011 – 30/10/2011Total Budget: 2.3M€
Objective:“To increase Europe’s knowledge in high
speed re-entry vehicle technology to allow for planetary exploration missions
in the coming decades”
The specific Objectives are:
1.To better understand phenomena during high speed re-entry enabling more precise Capsule sizing and reduced margins.
2.To identify the ground facility needs for simulation
3.To master heat shield manufacturing techniques and demonstrate heat shield capabilities
4.To master damping at ground impact and flight mechanics and thus ensure a safe return of the samples
