Tethered space recovery vehicle deployment/re-entry demonstration
Abstract
The feasibility of utilizing existing Space Re-entry Vehicle (SRV) hardware for a Shuttle Orbiter-based tethered SRV deployment and re-entry demonstration using the Small Expendable Deployer System has been investigated. Options for mounting the SRV in the Orbiter, modifications and additions required to the existing SRV hardware have been defined. Flight demonstration scenarios from the Orbiter have been investigated, and re-entry motion and targeting uncertainties have been determined.
