Natural Terrestrial Environment from Selected Field Data Measurements: Results and Applications for Launch Vehicle Development

ABSTRACT: This paper is mainly a review presenting 3 unique NASA natural environment field projects. Included are some important natural environment technical results and applications that are applicable in the design, development and operations of launch vehicles as well as in advancing the atmospheric state-of-the-art. For the design, development, testing, launch and flight of various launch vehicles all natural terrestrial environments are considered, with normally wind being the main contributor or driver to the design of a launch vehicle.

摘要：本论文为一篇综述性研究，介绍了3项独具特色的美国国家航空航天局（NASA）自然环境野外研究项目。本文还涵盖了一系列重要的自然环境技术成果与应用场景，可应用于运载火箭的设计、研发与运维，同时有助于推动大气领域前沿技术的发展。在各类运载火箭的设计、研发、测试、发射与飞行全流程中，所有陆地自然环境均需纳入考量，其中风力通常是影响运载火箭设计的核心因素与驱动力。
