Abstract

The German Aerospace Center (DLR) successfully launched a three-stage sounding rocket from the Andøya Space launch site in northern Norway on 26th June 2022. This hypersonic free flight experiment was part of the STORT project and was equipped with several scientific payloads concerning hypersonic technologies. The vehicle performed a suppressed trajectory to increase the integral heat load on the payload, reaching Mach 8 for more than 60 s at an altitude between 30 km and 38 km. Several heat flux and pressure sensors were placed around a canard of the payload to measure the footprint of the shock wave boundary layer interaction (SWBLI). The layout of the experiment as well as the data analysis were done in cooperation with the University of Arizona (UArizona). The design of the experiment and the data analysis were supported with wind tunnel experiments at DLR and the University of Arizona.
