The Purdue University team prepares for their Sept. 12-14, 2023, flight test on Exos Aerospace’s SARGE BLK3 platform. The paint shield visible in the center changes colors at different temperatures. Shielded camera mounts are visible on the left and right legs of the testing rig. Before-and-after comparisons plus high-definition video during the test run helps researchers discern the temperature field during testing.
