  • Published:
Thermophysics and Aeromechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

The field of application for the systems of high-altitude aerodynamics and typical problems solved are presented. The main requirements for these systems are formulated. Some methods for implementation of these requirements are shown by the example of RuSat system.
