It simulates the re-entry of a reusable booster stage. After being propelled with a VSB30 rocket to an altitude of about 135 km it will perform an autonomous re-entry. This paper is focused on the analysis of the aerothermal loads. Different approaches are applied for the investigations of the thermal heating: from a very conservative worst-case analysis up to a full-coupled simulation via the DLR CONF\u00b2AS\u00b2 tool (Coupled Numerical Fluid Flight Mechanic And Structure Simulation). The trajectory includes the launch as well as re-entry flight phase. The focus of the heating process analysis is on the experimental ReFEx vehicle itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/HiSST-2024-113.pdf\">Read the full paper here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Marius FRANZE, Viola WARTEMANN, C.
