With a growing interest in atmospheric entry, descent, and landing research as well as the necessity to empirically test increasingly complicated entry systems, a growing need for a quick and cost-effective method of experimentation is needed. The Hypersonic Configurable Unit Ballistic Experiment is a test and evaluation platform allowing for in-situ research and rapid testing of novel technologies in a re-entry environment. HyCUBE takes the form of a small satellite-sized re-entry vehicle and, with the additional space on board the vehicle, can act as a platform for testing novel guidance and control methodologies.
