The High-Speed Flight Demonstration (HSFD) project is the latest in a series of flight experiments in a research program into reusable space transportation systems being conducted by JAXA. The project consists of two phases which use sub-scale demonstrators based on the HOPE-X (H-II Orbiting Plane, Experimental) winged re-entry vehicle configurations. Phase II was a drop test from a stratospheric balloon to clarify the transonic aerodynamic characteristics of the HOPE-X configuration and to obtain data to validate wind tunnel tests and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) predictions. The first Phase II flight was conducted at the Esrange test site in Sweden in July 2003 in collaboration with Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales of France (CNES). Although the experiment had to be discontinued after an anomaly of the recovery system resulted in damage to the vehicle, lata were obtained at Mach 0.8, and fully autonomous flight control technologies for the transonic speed region were demonstrated. The data obtained from the HSFD project are expected to provide essential information for development of future reusable space transportation systems.
