DESCRIPTION:Prof. Tim McIntyre\, Head of Physics\, University of Queenslan
 d\, Australia\nAt the University of Queensland we use superorbital expansi
 on tubes to generate flow conditions simulating entry into planetary atmos
 pheres. The current study\, performed as part of the ESA funded Ablation R
 adiation Coupling project\, focussed on examining radiation emitted from t
 he flow over a sample return capsule with an ablating heat shield.\n\nOper
 ating conditions for the facility were chosen to match peak heating condit
 ions for the Hayabusa and Phoebus missions with freestream speeds of aroun
 d 9-11 km/s in an air test gas. Emission radiation was acquired within the
  vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) region 120-180nm.\n\nBio: Dr Timothy McIntyre's 
 research interests are in the fields of Laser Diagnostics (Holographic Int
 erferometry\, Laser Induced Fluorescence\, LEI Velocimetry\, Schlieren/Sha
 dowgraph\, Spectroscopic Methods\, Non-linear Methods) and Hypersonic Flow
  (Super-orbital flow\, Scramjets\, Facility Development\, Non-equlibrium f
 low\, Radiation)
