We present a preliminary design and mission description for Icy Satellites Impactor Probes (IPS). This design addresses two of the scientific themes of this Icy Galilean Satellites Forum: Surface Chemistry and Geophysics, and Interior Structures. Impactor probes may also make significant contributions in the areas of surface geology and mineralogy.

This paper describes the development and testing of a blunt entry body wth a high degree of transonic dynamic stability and one hypersonic trim point. Because of the inadequacy of CFD techniques to predict dynamic characteristics of blunt vehicles in the transonic flight regime, a series of tests was performed.
