The Coupled Numerical Fluid Flight Mechanics and Structure Simulation (CoNF2aS2) tool is a DLR-developed coupling environment specifically designed for spacecraft applications. As the name already implies, the focus of CoNF2aS2 lies in the interactions between fluid, thermal, structural and flight mechanics for aerodynamic and aerothermal load calculations. Like any numerical tool, the continuous upgrade of CoNF2aS2 through wind tunnel experiments and flight tests is an ongoing process with a permanent expansion of its application possibilities. The main goal of CoNF2aS2 is to achieve realistic simulations of space transportation vehicles in their entire flight range. This paper presents validation
examples as well as an overview of the current development status of CoNF2aS2. Some of the possible fidelity levels of CoNF2aS2 are introduced and accompanied by example applications.
