Abstract :
This paper describes the development and application of a system identification technology to obtain accurate estimates of maneuvering reentry vehicle aerodynamic coefficients from flight data. The impact of the specific maneuvering reentry vehicle characteristics on system identification is described and appropriate solutions are proposed. Examples illustrate the effectiveness of the technology.
