The ablative deceleration of spheres in the continuum and slip regimes is studied using spherical 7.1-micron-diam soda-lime glass particles launched from vacuum at about 4500 m/sec speed through a 13-micron-thick plastic film into a capture chamber containing Xe at 0.1 or 0.2 atm pressure and 295 K temperature. The results of SEM examinations of the collected ablated particles showed that the ratio of the ablated-particle radius (Rf) to the initial radius (R0) increased with gas pressure (from Rf/R0 about 0.67 at 0.1 atm, to about 0.88 at 0.2 atm). A model was developed to describe the ablation and deceleration of spheres in high-speed continuum and slip flow. The pressure dependence predicted by the model agreed with experimental results.
