Scientific paper

The feasibility of a carbon/carbon decelerator for the ESA's planetary-entry probe HUYGENS which will land on Titan was tested using a representative carbon/carbon panel of conic shape manufactured and controlled by nondestructuve inspection techniques. The panel was submitted to loads representative of the launch environmental dynamics and acoustic and mechanical loads. The test results were compared to the results of an analysis. Some discrepancies were found, indicating that more information on the panel behavior is needed to determine adequate safety margins.
