Abstract

High speed Schlieren imaging, pressure tapping points and optical emission spectroscopy for temperature and heat flux data are essential measurement techniques for analysis of bow shock dispersion, aerodynamic performance or heat transfer of spacecraft in atmospheric re-entry. However, design and manufacturing of a high voltage pulsed-plasma jet for testing in a supersonic counterflow deserves careful examination. High voltage electrification combined with high temperature sparking between electrodes possesses several design difficulties and manufacturing challenges which need to be addressed that form the basis of the design principals and manufacturing methodology of an Apollo capsule pulsed-plasma jet for successful testing and experimentation of the model.
