This work responds to the need of modeling the atmospheric re-entry of space debris,
satellites, and spacecraft quickly, efficiently and with a reasonable reliability. The Free Open …

This paper presents a multi-fidelity meta-modelling and model management framework
designed to efficiently incorporate increased levels of simulation fidelity from multiple …

Over the past 30 years, numerous methods and tools have been developed to simulate
spacecraft breakup during atmospheric re-entry, predict the characteristics of the surviving …

Well-known tools developed for satellite and debris re-entry perform break-up and trajectory
simulations in a deterministic sense and do not perform any uncertainty treatment. The …

multi-fidelity approach to the modelling and simulation of destructive atmospheric re-entry of …

Since their development at the end of the 50s, panel methods were widely used for the fast
simulation of aerospace objects reentry. Although improvements were proposed for the …

The thermal protection system (TPS) represents one of the most critical subsystems for
vehicle re-entry. However, due to uncertainties in thermal loads, material properties, and …
