Aerodynamic predictions in the hypersonic regime may be obtained to a good degree of accuracy using
the Newtonian theory. The present paper describes the ANTARES code (short for Application of Newtonian Theory for ARbitrary Entry Shapes) which has been developed at the von Karman Institute for
Fluid Dynamics for such predictions on 3-dimensional arbitrary geometries. Wall pressure distributions,
aerodynamic forces and moments as well as their corresponding coefficients can be predicted efficiently.
Results are presented for several academic geometries and for real configurations (Apollo, the Space
Shuttle and a hemispherical space debris geometry). Predictions are validated against analytical results,
wind tunnel data, flight measurements, and/or numerical values. Special features of the code are briefly
described, including shadowing effects and center of pressure computation capabilities.
