Expertise in Aerothermal Materials Testing and Signature Phenomenology
Physical Sciences Inc. has >30 years of experience conducting research into materials effects and related phenomenology associated with rockets, missiles and other vehicles traveling at hyperthermal velocities at altitudes relevant to hypersonic flight (nominally 15 – 50 km) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO: 100 – 600 km). Products of that research include PSI’s:
1) FAST technology which serves as the gold standard for atomic oxygen testing for the LEO environment and
2) Microwave torch technology, MIDJetTM, a high enthalpy torch technology used in PSI’s hypersonic materials testbed.
PSI offers:
1) system sales of complete testbeds based upon both technologies for materials testing and other research applications and
2) materials testing services described further on web pages linked below.
