Aerodecelerators
One type of aerodecelerator, an Enveloping Aerodynamic Decelerator (EAD) innovation enables certain missions due to its low overall entry density and unique aerothermodynamic characteristics. The EAD employs an inflatable thin film envelope that can be made very large creating a sizeable cross-section area while remaining lightweight...
Satellite De-Orbit
Global Aerospace Corporation is developing a Gossamer Orbit Lowering Device (GOLD) for safe and efficient removal from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) of dangerous space junk. The patented GOLD system concept uses a very large ultra thin balloon envelope to increase the aerodynamic drag by a factor of several hundred. This will cause the space junk to enter the earth’s atmosphere quickly...
High-Speed Aerodynamic Solutions
Global Aerospace Corporation is developing a hypersonic modeling and simulation tools for hypersonic vehicles. One tool, called HyperPASS, is an aeroassist simulation software package coded using the MATLAB language. It enables users to perform simulations at various planets using pre-programmed vehicles or user-entered vehicles. The importance of this technology is...
