The Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV) is an ESA re-entry demonstrator that performed, on the 11th February of 2015, a successful re-entry demonstration mission.
All NNCs and NNFs participated in an intensive one-day training session that included interactive online data entry system demonstrations and exercises, a patient recruitment simulation using a study pack detailing how to cascade GCP and other study-relevant training to recruiting clinicians.
The Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle (IXV) is a suborbital re-entry demonstrator successfully launched in February 2015 focusing on the in-flight demonstration of a lifting body system with active aerodynamic control surfaces.
The Intermediate experimental Vehicle (IXV) atmospheric re-entry demonstrator, developed within the FLPP (Future Launcher Preparatory Program) and funded by ESA, was aimed at developing a demonstration vehicle that gave Europe a unique opportunity to increase its knowledge in the field of advanced atmospheric re-entry technologies.

INRRI (INstrument for landing-Roving laser Retroreflector Investigation) for the EDM (Entry descent and landing Demonstration Module) 2016 mission is a compact, lightweight, passive, maintenance-free array of eight cube corner laser retroreflectors fixed to an aluminum alloy frame through the use of silicon rubber suitable for space applications.
A circular decapolar or duodecapolar mapping catheter (LASSO®, Biosense Webster Inc). was used to confirm PV electrical isolation with demonstration of entry and exit block.
Prior reports suggested that demonstration of entry block into the vein is not a sufficient condition to conclude exit block implying that evaluation of exit conduction by pacing manoeuvres is a critical step after obtaining entry block.
(For further discussion and more technical aspects of Grosseteste's account of demonstrative science, see the entry on Medieval Theories of Demonstration, as well as Crombie 1953, Laird 1987, Longeway 2007, McEvoy 1982, Marrone 1983 , 1986 Serene 1979, Van Dyke 2009 and 2010, and Wallace 1972).
The sciences of natural phenomena do not, Grosseteste claims, fully meet the requirements for a fully demonstrative science, though if we relax the conditions governing demonstrations somewhat we may speak of a demonstrative science of natural phenomena (see the entry on Medieval Theories of Demonstration for details).
A parameter study is performed on a chosen system implementation with a size of recent laboratory demonstrations, where entry temperatures, geometries and residence times of the particles in the heat exchanger are varied.
