Retropack application is a way of braking of reentry vehicle. Regardless of the ret-
ropack configuration when jets interact with incoming flow, complex three dimensional
pattern of the flow takes place. Рressure distribution over the vehicles surface and its
aerodynamic characteristics change. So it is necessary to make more detail investigations
of this moment. The experimental studies results of the flow around the reentry vehicle
model with a functioning retropack at transonic and supersonic flow velocities are pre-
sented . The analysis of the physical flow patterns, streams flow regimes and their influ-
ence on the vehicles aerodynamic characteristics was carried out, the change of the base
pressure was analysed. Also, the results of numerical simulation using different schemes
comparing with the experimental results are introduced.
Keywords: reentry vehicle, aerodynamic characteristics, transonic and supersonic flow,
retropack, jets injection, base pressure.
