Low speed dynamic tests on a capsule configuration

An experimental program supported by the Italian Space Agency was started at Politecnico di Torino. Static and oscillatory data were collected for a reference model of the Apollo Command Module configuration. The experimental results are presented here and the stability of the equivalent real capsul...

Description
Summary:An experimental program supported by the Italian Space Agency was started at Politecnico di Torino. Static and oscillatory data were collected for a reference model of the Apollo Command Module configuration. The experimental results are presented here and the stability of the equivalent real capsule is also discussed.
