PICA Recession in Stagnation Flow<br />

Mars Science Laboratory<br />

• The predicted d recession rates agreed within ±20% to the measured values<br />

over MSL-relevant conditions except at low heat rates<br />

• Calculated recession rates use TITAN, a 2D thermal response model.<br />

Details on TITAN calculations: Y.K. Chen, T. Gökçen, K.T. Edquist, “Two-Dimensional Ablation and Thermal<br />

Response Analyses for Mars Science Laboratory Heatshield,” AIAA 2009-4235.<br />
