In the frame of the European Space Agency (ESA) Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV) project, ESA is coordinating a series of technical assistance activities aimed at verifying and supporting the IXV industrial design and development process. The technical assistance is operated by the Italian Space Agency, by means of the technical support of the Italian Aerospace Research Centre. One of the purposes of the activity is to develop an independent capability for the assessment and verification of the industrial results with respect to the aerothermodynamic characterization of the IXV vehicle. To this aim, CIRA have developed an independent aerothermodynamic database, intended as a tool generating in output the time histories of local quantities for each point of the IXV vehicle surface and for each trajectory, together with an uncertainties model. The whole procedure followed for the definition of the numerical tool and the main results achieved will be presented in this article.
