Scientific paper

A method and results of numerical modeling of radiative heating of the back surface of the MSRO (Mars Sample Return Orbiter) space vehicle of the European Space Agency are presented. To determine radiation heat fluxes, the method of discrete ordinates on unstructured tetrahedral grids is used. The radiative model is based on the radiation-transfer equation in a multigroup approximation. Numerical calculation has been performed for the most thermally stressed point of the assumed trajectory of the entry of an MSRO-type space vehicle into the Mars atmosphere. A comparison with the discrete ordinates method on structured grids is made. Good agreement between the results of calculations on structured and unstructured grids is demonstrated. The level of radiation heat fluxes to the back surface of the MSRO space vehicle is predicted.
