Funded Activity Summary
Advancing the Science of Giant Planet Atmospheric Entry. This project aims to improve models used to design the heat shields which protect probes entering the atmospheres of the giant planets - four gaseous planets out beyond Mars. Further giant planet exploration is a key planetary science goal of the coming decade. However, the environment which an entry probe would experience features many unknowns and large uncertainties, making a mission a risky undertaking. Using unique experimental capabilities and state-of-the-art modelling, the expected project outcome is experimentally validated giant planet entry flow and surface chemistry models. This will allow more efficient heat shields to be designed while also increasing the chance of mission success, furthering our understanding of the universe.Funded Activity Details
