Thermo-Mechanical Design of the C/C-SiC-Based Thermal Protection Structure for the Forebody of the Hypersonic Sounding Rocket STORT
Re-entry flights of reusable first or upper stages typically foresee phases in the hypersonic flight regime, characterized by severe aero-thermal loads which could become critical for the most exposed components, like the vehicle forebody or the fin leading edges. These require consequently dedicated thermal protection systems (TPS), whose design generally requires a multi-disciplinary approach. In this framework, a viable solution is the use of high-temperature resistant ceramic matrix composite (CMC) structures, but the implementation of such technology, especially for the manufacturing of complex components and its application in real flight conditions, still presents significant challenges. In this work, the design activities for the CMC-based TPS of the payload forebody of a hypersonic sounding rocket are presented, developed within the framework of the STORT project, whose mission includes in flight demonstration of multiple critical technologies required for sustained flight at Mach numbers above 8, corresponding to a significantly high integral thermal load.
