On October 4, ARCA performed Mission 12 and Mission 16 drop tests.
During these tests the 1:6 AMi Cargo capsule and a Reentry Target Vehicle (RTV), were lifted with a ballon and dropped to determine de vehicles stability at terminal velocity.
The AMi capsule is designed to return precious metals like platinum, rhodium, gold from the asteroids and it doesn’t have a recovery parachute, ARCA opting instead for a high lift heat shield and a crash landing with a velocity of around 140km/h.
During Mission 12, the capsule was lifted with a manned balloon and dropped to reach the equilibrium and terminal velocities and then the impact, similar with an asteroid return mission. The team also tested the capsule’s terminal stability and the structural integrity at impact.
The Reentry Target Vehicle (RTV), a commercial military product used to simulate both nuclear and conventional ballistic missiles warheads performed a first flight during Mission 16. During the first test flight we determined the stability of the vehicle near the terminal velocity of Mach 0.6.
