摘要：	This discussion will involve the design and architecture of the Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator (LOFTID) Reentry Vehicle (RV). It will describe the structure and modular design of the RV, expounding on its various subsystems, including power and commanding, data handling and recovery, instrumentation, the inflation system, and the aeroshell. The unique launch vehicle architecture for the LOFTID mission, as a massive rideshare payload, required the development of supporting flight systems, including the Payload Adapter Separation System (PASS) and the Reentry Vehicle Payload Adapter Interface Ring (RVPAIR). To do no harm to the primary mission, the LOFTID team also designed and delivered a flightworthy Mass Simulator as risk reduction in the event the RV was not ready in time for the primary mission launch date. Various challenges and design trades will be discussed, along with a brief description of the RV performance in flight. LOFTID was a secondary payload on the launch of JPSS-2 onboard an Atlas V launch vehicle. The following will discuss the design decisions of the LOFTID RV while highlighting decisions made for re-using previous hardware.
