U N I V E R S I T Y O FMARYLAND
Graduate Design Class: Fall, 1988• Six students in graduate class in Aeronautics and
Astronautics at MIT • Project summary: Design an alternative human
spacecraft to supplement/replace the shuttle in the event of another Challenger-type accident
• Had to be capable of launch on Delta II, Atlas, Titan IIIC (existing ELVs)

Synopsis of Initial Feasibility Study• Ultra-low ballistic coefficient vehicles provide
significant advantages for atmospheric entry – Relief from restriction to conical configurations to avoid
aft wake – Significantly lower peak shield temperatures, allowing the
use of existing COTS materials – Little or no entry ionization creating blackouts for
communications and navigation
• Terminal velocity in lower atmosphere is limited to 15-20 m/sec, requiring only impact attenuation – Aero decelerator deployed and verified before entry

ParaShield Flight Test Origins• Discussion with officials of American Rocket
Company (AMROC) in April, 1989 – Single Engine Test (SET-1) vehicle being developed for
suborbital test flight out of Vandenberg AFB – Existing payload compartment was empty and available – Targeted launch date: August, 1989 (four months!)
• Total available funding: $80K • Total available personnel: 3 grad students, 2
undergrads (all volunteers), 1 faculty (part-time) • Facilities: undergrad projects lab shop

Conclusions• Ultralow ballistic coefficient entry vehicles can match
performance of conventional capsule-type vehicles • ParaShield approach provides both entry thermal
protection and aerodynamic deceleration, except for impact attenuation
• Structural mass efficiencies and packing factors are improved by larger volume protected from aft wake
• Separation of entry/descent/landing systems from crew cabin provides additional margin for exploration missions to the moon and beyond
