FIRE I is the first of two planned space flight experiments designed to investigate the heating environment encountered by a body reentering the Earth's atmosphere at 25,000 miles per hour (37,000 ft/sec), a speed slightly in excess of lunar return velocity. Project FIRE will provide the first flight data on reentry heating at lunar return velocities. Flight data gained from these experiments will be used as anchor points to guide laboratory experimental and theoretical investigations of reentry heat transfer, gas temperatures, and gas composition.
