Abstract
For human reentry vehicle or cargo reentry vehicle, it is important to estimate the earth landing loads to human or cargo exactly, and to design to decrease the earth landing loads within permissible range. This paper shows the water impact test results using reentry capsule scale model. The test parameters are vertical velocity and pitch angle at water impact and the data corresponding to these parameters are showed in this paper.
