Advanced Ablation Characterization and Modelling (ABLAMOD)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
"As mentioned in the FP7 space call for Europe to be active in space in the long term, be it in earth-orbit or across the solar system, it is essential that space technologies with key capabilities are at its disposal. This goal requires developments by radical innovation which may then lead to “disruptive technologies”. In this frame new thermal shielding and low risk return strategies are define ...

Planetary Entry Integrated Models (Phys4Entry)
Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,
One of the major technological challenges associated with the access to planetary surfaces is the entry of the space vehicle in the planetary atmospheres at superorbital speeds. The problem is the very large heat released to the vehicle surface by the surrounding gas either as convective heating or as radiation. Optimization of the thermal shield design can have a profound impact on the overall mi ...

Future High-Altitude High-Speed Transport 20XX (FAST20XX)
Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2012,
"The current project aims at the investigation and development of technologies and steps necessary for approaches to conquer the grey zone between aeronautics and space in Europe, and thus to set the foundation of a new paradigm for transportation in the long term. The underlying concepts considered are a) a European space plane based on an airplane launch approach to advance European know how in ...
