Abstract DSMC simulation of re-entry of an object with shape and size close to that of ISRO’s Space Recovery Experiment (SRE) capsule has been analysed
using the open-source tool dsmcFoam for three altitude conditions, viz. 85 km, 100 km and 115 km, and for three angles of attack, viz. 0

, 20o&40o
.
The hypersonic free stream velocity of 8000 m/s and boundary surface temperature of 300 K have been used for the simulations. The variation of
parameters such as surface heat flux, surface pressure, shear stress, slip velocity, temperature jump and integrals such as More >
