Results are provided from a viscous shock layer (VSL) analysis of the reentry flowfield around the forebody of the Japanese Orbital Reentry Experiment (OREX) vehicle. This vehicle is a 50 deg. spherically blunted cone with a nose radius of 1.35 m and a base diameter of 3.4 m. Calculations are done for the OREX trajectory from 105 to 48.4 km altitude range. A 7-species chemical model is found adequate for the flowfield analysis. However, for altitudes greater than 84 km, the low density effects (such as thermal nonequilibrium and slip) are to be implemented for good agreement between the predictions and flight inferred heat-transfer rate data. Further, at altitudes lower than 84 km, a finite surface recombination probability is to be employed in place of a non-catalytic surface for better comparison between the calculations and data. VSL results are also compared with the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) predictions at high altitudes (greater than 80 km) and the electron number density data for three altitudes in the OREX trajectory. Overall, there is a good comparison between the flight data and calculated results. With the ongoing refinements in data extraction procedures, the OREX data should prove valuable for validating theoretical models employed in flowfield codes for calculation of reacting-gas flowfields.
