Abstract

The status of current phenomenological models for high altitude plume signatures is presented. Major limitations are discussed and R&D efforts to remove these limitations are reviewed. These R&D projects are placed in two categories: fundamental properties and methodology development. Projects to obtain fundamental properties include: theoretical predictions/measurements of collisional excitation cross sections and vibrational relaxation rates, and measurements of physical/chemical properties of propellant aerosols. Methodology development include a composite high altitude signature model and an aerosol radiation model.
