Medium-size High Enthalpy Shock TunnelAlso possible to use as a ballistic range for a small vehicle flight experiment
The facility was established as a pilot high enthalpy shock tunnel. At present, it also is being used as a ballistic range to conduct small vehicle flight experiments.
This facility, when used as a ballistic range, requires no gunpowder when launching a projectile (small-sized flight vehicle model). In light of this, we realized high operability as it is possible to conduct four tests a day.
Operations that do not use gunpowder are also helpful to reduce operational costs and to improve safety.
