摘要

With the perspective of developing a Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) in the next decades, a mid-term master plan has been agreed in Europe to secure its development and to obtain proof of its economic efficiency. Following a step-by-step approach, which underlies the Future Launcher Preparatory Program (FLPP) proposed by ESA, this master plan cross-links both on-ground and in-flight demonstrations in addition to system studies. Focusing on the in flight demonstrations, the CNES, the French Space Agency, has engaged with EADS SPACE Transportation, as leading contractor, the feasibility study of a re-entry vehicle fulfilling both its technical and programmatic requirements: this is the Hypersonic Pre-X. It appears as a very good candidate for the Intermediate experiment Vehicle (IXV) that is viewed as the most challenging and ambitious short term step. Pre-X main objectives are twofolds. The first objective is to test reusable TPS which are currently available in Europe and which could be used for a RLV. The second objective, which is of great importance for the sake of an in-flight experiment, is to gather AeroThermoDynamics (ATD) data in the hypersonic regime, and to improve the process of in flight measuring the right output at the right time. This paper describes how the Pre-X industrial team proposes to fulfil these objectives. The reference definition current status of the vehicle and its mission are extensively provided enlightening the main Experiment and System drivers. This 4 m long gliding spacecraft, weighing 1.5 metric tons and with a Lift-to-Drag ratio of about 1, performs an hypersonic guided and controlled re-entry by means of active body flaps. The main functional subsystems without any further experiments are highly retrofitted from existing space programs as it is common sense for this class of projects. Pre-X is targeted to developed within a timeframe of 3.5 years.
