Zusammenfassung:The dynamics of blunt-body vehicles in the transonic regime of atmospheric entry often play a dominant role in the design of atmospheric entry missions. Passage through these flight regimes can pose one of the greatest mission risks due to instabilities which can cause divergent and potentially catastrophic behavior. Most NASA entry missions encounter transonic dynamic stability challenges that drive system requirements and architecture choices.
