Planar laser-induced fluorescence of nitric oxide was used to visualize the interaction of reaction control system jet flows on the afterbody of a hypersonic capsule reentry vehicle at the Calspan-University at Buffalo Research Center's Large Energy National Shock Tunnel I reflected shock tunnel facility. The interaction of pitch and roll jets with the flowfield was investigated. Additionally, thin-film sensors were used to monitor heat transfer on the surface of the model to detect localized heating resulting from the firing of the reaction control system jets. Visualizations of the capsule shear layer using both planar laser-induced fluorescence and schlieren imaging compared favorably. The structure of the roll jet was found to be significantly altered due to interactions with the flowfield. Additionally, the presence of the roll jet appeared to change the nature of the shear layer from steady laminar to unsteady. The pitch jet structure was only disturbed in the far field. Comparison of the planar laser-induced fluorescence jet-fluid visualizations and the surface heat flux distributions indicate that the regions of enhanced aeroheating are not caused by the jet fluid itself impinging on the surface, but rather by the presence of jet-induced horseshoe vortices and shock wave/boundary-layer interactions. Presented as Paper 2013-0033 at the 51st AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting Including the New Horizons Forum and Aerospace Exposition, Grapevine, TX, 7-10 January 2013
