Abstract
A critical review of shock tube techniques for measuring the heterogeneous recombination probability of atoms on space vehicle surfaces while modeling natural re-entering conditions is presented. Results of the determination of the heterogeneous recombination probability for various types of thermal protection systems of Space Shuttle-type vehicles are given and analyzed.
