Abstract

We model active thermal protection and advanced propulsion systems for deep-space vehicles during planetary atmospheric re-entry. Our approach couples magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) with hypersonic aerothermodynamics to create a single engineering model. This initial whitepaper outlines the baseline physics, and we will update it with full mathematical proofs and derivations in the next version.
