Abstract
The characteristics of a plasma flow around the descent vehicle of a Soyuz spacecraft when passing through the Earth’s atmosphere are studied. For the first time, the chemical composition of the compressed layer and the plasma flow in the downstream area, accessible for instrumental examinations through the descent vehicle porthole, are estimated. The characteristics of the equipment developed for conducting the space experiment to study the emission spectrum of the plasma layer around the descent vehicle are described.
期刊介绍:
High Temperature is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes original papers and reviews written by theoretical and experimental researchers. The journal deals with properties and processes in low-temperature plasma; thermophysical properties of substances including pure materials, mixtures and alloys; the properties in the vicinity of the critical point, equations of state; phase equilibrium; heat and mass transfer phenomena, in particular, by forced and free convections; processes of boiling and condensation, radiation, and complex heat transfer; experimental methods and apparatuses; high-temperature facilities for power engineering applications, etc. The journal reflects the current trends in thermophysical research. It presents the results of present-day experimental and theoretical studies in the processes of complex heat transfer, thermal, gas dynamic processes, and processes of heat and mass transfer, as well as the latest advances in the theoretical description of the properties of high-temperature media.
