Abstract

MINI Irene is the Flight Demonstrator of IRENE, a new-concept capsule with a variable geometry, originally conceived by ASI to widen the range of available platforms to retrieve payloads and/or data from low Earth orbit. This paper, after a short introduction of the patented IRENE deployable heat shield concept and benefits, shows the ongoing activities that will lead to the sub-orbital flight. The description is focused on the structural activities, both numerical and experimental), and on the avionic systems.
