Abstract
Defunct, manmade objects in orbit regularly reenter Earth’s atmosphere in an uncon trolled manner causing risk of both personal injury and property damage. To reduce uncertainty and improve our ability to predict surviving debris, impact time and impact location, reentry breakup dynamics and aerothermodynamics data is needed. The Reentry Breakup Recorder has demonstrated the ability to obtain inertial and thermal measure ments during reentry that are pertinent to spacecraft breakup. Building on this concept, the present investigation explores the design space for this device and matures a smaller, lighter and more operationally flexible system, termed RED-Data2.
