Lunar and Mars return conditions are examined using the Langley aerothermodynamic upwind relaxation algorithm flowfield code and the Langley optimized radiative nonequilibrium radiation code to assess the effect of radiative coupling on axisymmetric thermochemical nonequilibrium flows. Coupling of the two codes is achieved iteratively. Special treatment required to couple radiation in a shock-capturing method is discussed. Results indicate that while coupling effects are generally the same as occur in equilibrium flows, under certain conditions radiation can modify the chemical kinetics of a nonequilibrium flow, and thus alter relaxation processes. Coupling effects are found to be small for all cases considered, except for a 5 m diam aerobrake returning from Mars at 13.6 km/s.
