The aftbody aeroheating environment of a Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator (HIAD) was investigated in the NASA Langley 31-Inch Mach 10 Air Tunnel. The wind tunnel model geometry was representative of the Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator (LOFTID) vehicle. Aeroheating data were obtained for a range of Reynolds numbers and angles-of-attack using global phosphor thermography. Aeroheating data were also obtained using a developmental IR thermography technique for evaluation of data quality.
