A review of the main problems in hypersonic aerothermodynamic and aerodynamic research is presented. To develop useful design tools for reentry vehicles, a balanced combination of computational fluid dynamics codes, wind tunnel experiments and free flight tests is needed. The designed facility is simple and cost effective, and is flown as piggyback in the second stage of Ariane 4.
