Details of research theme

【Title of Research Theme】

Study on atmoshperic-entry, descent and landing technology and development of sample return capsule

 

【Individual Research】The candidate will select some reseach themes related to atmospheric-entry, descent and landing technology.
The research topics are various, from conventional rigid sample return capsule (SRC) to an innovative aerodynamic-entry system.
The examples are listed as following; heat shield, aerodynamic heating prediction, aerodynamic instability phenomena, parachuting technology, inflatable atmospheric-entry system and planetary paraglider.

【JAXA Project】The candidates are required to contribute some projects which need the atmospheric entry system, for example, Mars Moons Exploration(MMX), future planetary probe mission, like SPUR (Scattered nano Probes Unfolded Reconnaissance), the development of SRC for deep space explation and the recovery module for a souding rocket expleriment.

 

Required abilities，qualities， and experience

The candidates should possess the knowledge and ability in aerospace engineering, especially, aerothermodynamics, high-enthalpy gas dynamics, aerodynamics and EDL technology. And they should have a motivation and communication ability to promote a project, ground experiments and flight demonstraion with collaborating other staffs.
