We summarize two recent applications of planar laser-induced fluorescence using seeded nitric oxide (NO-PLIF) within two different large-scale facilities for space technology and exploration. The first measurement campaign described is the NO-PLIF measurements performed within the 31-in Mach 10 air tunnel at NASA Langley Research Center for flow visualization, velocity, and temperature measurements of the wake produced by a hypersonic blunt-body. PLIF within this wake-flow was performed to support the developments of HIAD (hypersonic inflatable aerodynamic decelerator) technology, including the recent LOFTID flight mission. The second campaign is the NO-PLIF measurements performed within a 20-ft vacuum chamber at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center for flow visualization of a Mach 5 plume impinging on a flat plate under rarefied and continuum conditions. PLIF within this supersonic flow was performed to support future lunar and Martian lander missions by investigating the plume impingement behavior. While both of these measurement campaigns were performed using 10 Hz PLIF laser systems, current efforts include utilization of tunable high-repetition-rate lasers for NO-PLIF measurements up to kHz-MHz rates.
