Worldwide experience on Earth high speed re-entry (>10 km/s) is available to USA, Japan and Russia
whereas the European background does not exceed the 8 km/s typical of a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) reentries. Although ESA was/is considering various missions requiring Earth re-entries at speeds up to 13
km/s (such as Marco Polo, Mars Sample Return – MSR, Phobos Sample Return, Polar Lunar Sample
Return) no mission, so far, has been adopted for implementation; very often the lack of the necessary
background on Earth high speed re-entry played and essential role on the decision
To fill such a knowledge gap, ESA is presently considering implementing the Hyper-velocity EArth Reentry TEchnology Demonstrator (HEARTED) mission.
This paper will report the status of the feasibility study of the HEARTED mission covering phases 0 and
A concluded within the Agency Technology Development Element programme.
